Capnography in cardiac arrest turns a chaotic resuscitation into something you can measure. In the middle of a code, most feedback is delayed or subjective. The capnograph is neither. It gives the team a live, physiological window into what the
EtCO2 monitoring during transport is where a secure airway is most likely to fail without anyone noticing. Moving a patient is one of the riskiest things you do to them. The tube you confirmed in the ICU can shift on
Capnography in procedural sedation is the difference between catching a breathing problem early and finding it late. Sedation makes a patient comfortable. It also slows their breathing, and sometimes stops it. The most common serious harm during sedation is not
The capnograph price in India runs from about ₹25,000 to well over ₹2,00,000. That is a wide gap, and the reason is simple. You are not buying one thing. You are buying a device category, a sensor type, a set
The normal EtCO2 range is 35 to 45 mmHg, which is 4.6 to 6.0 kPa. That single band is the anchor for every capnography reading you will ever take. Learn it well and the rest becomes simple. A number inside
Capnography vs pulse oximetry is one of the most misread comparisons in monitoring. The two are often treated as interchangeable safety nets. They are not. One measures oxygen in the blood. The other measures breathing itself. When a patient stops
Sustained CO₂ over several breaths confirms the tube is in the airway. Endotracheal tube confirmation is the moment that decides everything. A tube in the trachea saves a life. The same tube in the oesophagus can end one. The hard
TLDR A portable capnograph measures exhaled CO₂ and displays a waveform to answer one question: is the patient ventilating? A multiparameter monitor tracks several vital signs (ECG, SpO₂, blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate) to answer a broader question: is
Carbon dioxide detection in healthcare means measuring CO2 in exhaled breath, primarily through capnography (waveform) and capnometry (numeric EtCO2). Normal adult EtCO2 is 35 to 45 mmHg. The 2025 AHA guidelines recommend continuous waveform capnography as the most reliable way
5 Capnography Use Cases That Standardize Your Clinical Practice 1. Confirmation of Proper Endotracheal Intubation Intubating a patient is an everyday task for anaesthesiologists and critical care specialists. It is often challenging. Clinical signs alone may be unreliable, particularly in difficult
