Description

Continuous waveform Capnography is one of the most underutilized technologies available. It is an early indicator of respiratory deterioration and ventilatory failure. This presentation will focus on Capnography not only as measure of ventilation, but also as an indicator of perfusion. Through case studies we will explore how it is helpful to identify V/Q mismatch and guide resolution.
