Pulse oximetry monitors oxygenation while capnography monitors ventilation, and both monitoring systems provide important but different physiologic measurements. US-PM-2200482...
This capnogram is rarely seen, and it occurs in mechanically ventilated patients who make an effort to breath. Learn more about curare cleft in this video. US-PM-2200573...
With asthma, emphysema, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory rate may vary but is generally greater than 20 breaths per minute and often accompanied by a reduced tidal volume and wheezes or rhonchi may be present. Learn more about how these factors can impact capnography waveforms in...
In cases of lower airway obstruction resulting from bronchospasm, respiratory rate may vary, but it is generally greater than 20 breaths per minute and is often accompanied by a reduced tidal volume. Possible causes of lower airway obstruction can include asthma, allergy, COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, or...
