The NDIR capnography sensor is the technology behind almost every modern capnograph. It is what turns a breath into a number and a waveform, reliably, thousands of times a day. The principle is elegant and simple. Carbon dioxide absorbs infrared
A standalone EtCO2 monitor is a device that does one job well: it measures carbon dioxide in the breath and shows it on its own dedicated display. It is not a module tucked inside a large multiparameter monitor, and it
Capnography during anaesthesia is not optional. It is a mandatory monitor for every patient under general anaesthesia, and for good reason. From the moment the airway is secured until the patient wakes, it is the fastest, clearest signal of whether

Handheld vs benchtop capnography is a choice about form, not function. Both measure the same thing and both can give you an accurate EtCO2 reading and waveform. The difference is where each one lives and how it moves. One is
Opioid-induced respiratory depression is the quiet danger of the general ward. A patient recovering from surgery is given opioids for pain. The pain settles. So does their breathing, and sometimes it settles too far. On the ward, no one is
Mainstream vs sidestream capnography is the first choice you make when you buy a capnograph, and it shapes everything after it. The two measure the same thing, carbon dioxide in the breath, but they do it in different places. One
