End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Monitoring during Procedural Sedation

End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring.

Does end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring detect respiratory events prior to current sedation monitoring practices?

OBJECTIVES The value of ventilation monitoring with end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) to anticipate acute respiratory events during emergency department (ED) procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is unclear. The authors sought to determine if ETCO2 monitoring would reveal findings indicating an acute respiratory event earlier than indicated by current monitoring practices. METHODS The study ...

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...
