Capnography – Riding the Waves!

Anaesthesia & Analgesia | Veterinary Nursing | 54 mins

Capnography has evolved into an essential component for monitoring anaesthetised patients and capnography is included in the Standards of Mandatory Monitoring with the American Society of Anaesthesilogists and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. Capnography provides information about CO2 production, pulmonary perfusion, ventilation, it is an indirect monitor of cardiac output and facilitates better detection of potentially life-threatening problems than clinical judgement alone.

Within this presentation, we will discuss basic physiology of the respiratory system, what capnography tells us and how it is measured, the capnography waveform, reasons for abnormalities in end-tidal carbon dioxide and the role of capnography in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.
