Objectives The learner will be able to: * Define the components of CO2 monitoring. * Discuss Pros and Cons of Capnography. * Review respiratory cycle. * Compare Capnography to Oximetry. * Identify Parts of the Wave Form. Capnography * Can be an integral part of the monitoring done in moderate and procedural sedation. * Is used to monitor / measure the amount of carbon dioxide in respiratory gases. * Provides information about the effectiveness of respiration s and end-tidal carbon dioxide values. Capnography vs Oximetry * Capnography monitors ventilation, while pulse oximetry monitors oxygenation. * Capnography thus provides breath-to-breath feedback, and changes in breathing, like apnea, are reflected immediately. * Changes in pulse oximetry can lag behind breathing changes. Basic Physiology * Carbon dioxide is produced in the tissues by metabolism and is then diffused into the blood via the venous system (this is basically equal to cardiac output) * The blood carrying carbon dioxide enters the right side of the heart and from there travels to the lungs. * This is where oxygen enters the blood. Increased Safety of Nurse Sedation * Acute respiratory events or respiratory depression were earlier identified due to the monitoring of the waveforms on the capnography monitor. * Capnography can also help detect alveolar hypoventilation even in the presence of supplemental oxygen. * The use of capnography can reduce hypoxemia and lead to better outcomes in patients undergoing moderate sedation.
