Developing a Respiratory Depression Scorecard for Capnography Monitoring [PDF]
Pulse oximetry is the most common way to measure a patient's respiratory status in the hospital setting; however, capnography monitoring is a more accurate and sensitive technique which can more comprehensively measure respiratory function.

Detection of optimal PEEP for equal distribution of tidal volume by volumetric capnography and electrical impedance tomography during decreasing levels of PEEP in post cardiac-surgery patients [PDF]
Background Homogeneous ventilation is important for prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been used to identify optimal PEEP by detection of homogenous ventilation in non-dependent and dependent lung ...

Non-Invasive Capnography Versus Pulse Oximetry for Early Detection of Respiratory Depression During Pediatric Procedural Sedation: A Prospective Observational Study [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Continuous ventilation monitoring during pediatric sedation is essential, as respiratory depression may occur silently and may not be detected promptly by conventional methods such as pulse oximetry.

Aim Capnography is recommended for use in procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA); however, limited studies assess its impact on recovery time. We investigated the association between capnography and the recovery time of PSA in the emergency department ...

Background INTELLiVENT–Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is a closed–loop ventilation mode that uses capnography to adjust tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rate according to a user–set end–tidal CO2 (etCO2) target range.

A focused ethnography of how endoscopy practitioners utilize capnography in sedated patients
The literature shows that respiratory complications are common with sedation. Given the inherent risk, capnography monitoring is recommended whenever sedation is administered.

Capnography for assessing nocturnal hypoventilation and predicting compliance with subsequent noninvasive ventilation in patients with ALS. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) suffer from hypoventilation, which can easily worsen during sleep. This study evaluated the efficacy of capnography monitoring in patients with ALS for assessing nocturnal hypoventilation and ...
