Quiz: Pediatric Wheezing: It’s Not Always Asthma
By Sean Hulsman Our experiences as EMS providers with sick children are too few to build real comfort and providers never want to see kids suffering. Nonetheless we do treat sick kids and for children with respiratory distress it’s easy to be confused by lung sounds, especially wheezes. Read Pediatric Wheezing: It’s Not Always...
End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Use for Tracheal Intubation: Analysis From the National Emergency Airway Registry for Children (NEAR4KIDS) Registry
Objective: Waveform capnography use has been incorporated into guidelines for the confirmation of tracheal intubation. We aim to describe the trend in waveform capnography use in emergency departments and PICUs and assess the association between waveform capnography use and adverse tracheal intubation–associated...
Does End tidal CO2 Monitoring During emergency Department Procedural Sedation and Analgesia with Propofol Decrease the Incidence of Hypoxic Events? A Randomized, Controlled Trial
In adults receiving ED propofol sedation, the addition of capnography to standard monitoring reduced hypoxia and provided advance warning for all hypoxic events.
Bedside End-tidal CO2 Tension as a Screening Tool to Exclude Pulmonary Embolism
End tidal carbon dioxide tension (P(ET,CO(2))) is a surrogate for dead space ventilation which may be useful in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism (PE). We aimed to define the optimal P(ET,CO(2)) level to exclude PE in patients evaluated for possible thromboembolism.
End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Concentration Monitoring in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
In summary, the study provides preliminary data showing that ETco(2) potentially can be used in continuous monitoring of OSA patients. And, (T - W) ETco(2) can indicate the severity of OSA.
