End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy

End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring.

Monitoring of end tidal carbon dioxide and transcutaneous carbon dioxide during neonatal transport.

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of measurements of end tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) during neonatal transport compared with arterial and transcutaneous measurements. DESIGN Paired end tidal and transcutaneous CO2 recordings were taken frequently during road transport of 21 ventilated neonates. The first paired CO2 values were compared with an arterial blood gas. The differences between arteria...

End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring in pediatric emergencies.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring is useful in the prehospital setting, emergency department, intensive care unit, and operating room. Capnography provides valuable, timely information about the function of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. End-tidal CO2 monitoring is the single most useful method in confirming endotracheal tube position. It also provides information abou...

End-tidal capnographic monitoring to detect apnea episodes during flexible bronchoscopy under sedation

BACKGROUND Apnea developing as a result of oversedation is a potential clinical problem in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (FB) under sedation. However, there are no reports of evaluation using a standardized method of the frequency of occurrence of apnea episodes during FB under sedation. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of apnea episodes during FB under sedatio...
