Capno

Question 1

Define Capno

Answer 1

Display of measurement of Co2 concentration in real time for every breath producing ETCO2 capnography.

Question 2

2 components of capnography

Answer 2

1. Capnogram

2. Capnometry

Question 3

2 mesurements of capno

Answer 3

Quantity and quality
ETCO2+ Wave+ RR
Color assay, colormetry

Question 4

3 types of capno devices

Answer 4

IR spectroscopy, side stream sampling, microstream tech

Question 5

Explain ABC assessment with capno

Answer 5

A: steep, upslope, prolonged
B: ETCO2 Waveform baseline
C: constant, long/short intervals ETCO2 variations

Question 6

4 clinical uses of capno

Answer 6

1. MNG
2. Monitor
3. Intubation
4. Perfusion

Question 7

Explain difference between pulse oximetry and capno

Answer 7

measures % of o2 and monoxide bound to the Hb and is slow to show signs of deterioration because the blood must circulate throughout the body before reaching the IR light again. Where as capno measures the amount of ETCO2 for each breath shows immediate changes in patient’s condition in regards to metabolism, perfusion and ventilation.

Question 8

4 things to check in apneic waveform

Answer 8

DOPE
D- dislodged
O- obstructed airway
P- Pneumothorax
E- equipment

Question 9

11 reasons for ETCO2 decreases

Answer 9

Hypothermia, PE, Obstructed, drop in CO, drop in BP, pul. edema, sepsis, MI, Hyperventilation, EQ

Question 10

10 reasons for ETCO2 increases

Answer 10

Hyperthermia, increase in CO, high BP, COPD, Hypoventilation, air trapping, bronchospasm, Rebreathing, Fever, brain injury

Question 11

2 factors of air movement

Answer 11

Lung compliance
