Capnography In The Pediatric Emergency Department: Clinical Applications
Capnography, often referred to by emergency clinicians as end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring, is a noninvasive method of measuring cardiopulmonary and metabolic parameters that can be utilized in many clinical applications. Growing evidence in the literature in support of the use of capnography has led to increased clinical use of this modality in many pediatric subspecialties. Understanding c...
متن کاملEmergency Nursing Resource: the use of capnography during procedural sedation/analgesia in the emergency department.

Each ENR focuses on a clinical or practice-based issue, and is the result of a review and analysis of current information believed to be reliable. As such, information and recommendations wit...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of end tidal capnography in patients with hyperglycemia in the emergency department
BACKGROUND Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. In paediatric populations an end tidal capnography value greater than 36 mmHg was found to be 100 % sensitive in ruling out DKA. METHODS A cross sectional observational study of adults ≥ 17 years of age presenting to the emergency department between January 2014 and...
متن کاملPredictive Value of Capnography for Suspected Diabetic Ketoacidosis in the Emergency Department
INTRODUCTION Metabolic acidosis confirmed by arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is one of the diagnostic criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Given the direct relationship between end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and metabolic acidosis, measuring ETCO2 may serve as a surrogate for ABG in the assessment of possible DKA. The current study focuses on the predi...
متن کاملVolumetric capnography as a screening test for pulmonary embolism in the emergency department.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic performance of volumetric capnography (VCap), which is the plot of the expired CO(2) partial pressure against the expired volume during a single breath, with the PaCO(2) to end-tidal CO(2) (EtCO(2)) gradient, in the case of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). DESIGN Single-center, prospective study. SETTING Emergency department of a teaching hospital...
