Waveform capnography is used at all EMS provider levels to better assess patients in respiratory distress, cardiac arrest and shock. Capnography offers reliable feedback about the severity of a patient’s condition and how they respond to treatment. Here are five things you should know about waveform capnography. 1. Capnography provides breath-to-breath ventilation data Waveform capnography…

Capnography can be an addition to a paramedic’s toolkit. A recent survey taken of EMS1 readers indicated that upwards of 95 percent agree that capnography is easy to understand and an important monitoring tool for patients in cardiac arrest, experiencing respiratory distress, or ill with sepsis among other things. Capnography is the measurement of carbon…

When added to a thorough history and physical exam, waveform capnography is a valuable assessment tool in accurately diagnosing the cause of respiratory arrest and distress. Capnography is an essential, real-time diagnostic tool that provides critical insights into a patient’s ventilatory status. In emergency settings — especially during respiratory distress or respiratory arrest — capnography…

By Joel Koehn What is capnography and when should we be using it? Capnography is a non-invasive method for monitoring how much CO2 patients are exhaling. It has become a widely used and very important tool to use in prehospital care. It is relatively simple to use and can be used in many different patient…

Capnography is an essential tool for EMS providers, offering real-time insight into a patient’s ventilatory status. By measuring end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and displaying a capnography waveform, it helps confirm airway placement, assess ventilation quality and monitor circulation. Understanding how to interpret waveform capnography and ETCO2 values is critical for making timely, informed clinical decisions…

In the life and death business of EMS, you need tools that you can rely upon. Capnography is the non-invasive measurement of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) displayed as a CO2 waveform concentration over time. During the 1980s, capnography became a standard for anesthesia care in the U.S. [1] and is now a standard of care…
