Quality Assurance Report on the Use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and End-tidal Carbon Dioxide During Respiratory Distress in Field Emergency Care
Mainstream capnometry performed best, and an oral guide improved the performance of sidestream capnometry. Accuracy in non-obese and obese patients, with and without OSA, was similar.
Exhaled CO(2) detection is a sensitive and accurate technique to confirm tracheal tube placement in very low birth weight infants during neonatal resuscitation.
The aim of the study was to investigate changes in EtCO2 and its correlation with PaCO2, and cardiac function during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and to evaluate whether the recruitment maneuver was effective in improving gas...
Within a wide limit of agreement between the volunteer and bench study, flow-through and sidestream capnometry performed equally well during bench testing and in non-intubated, sedated patients.
