Capnography Flashcards
1
Q
Capnography - low EtC02 causes
A
Poor seal - trouble shoot, consider airway adjuncts
Poor perfusion - correct perfusion
Hyperventilation - modify ventilation rate
2
Q
Capnography - high EtC02 causes
A
Hypoventilation - increase volume or ventilation rate, reduce PEEP
3
Q
Capnography - hypercpania
A
High C02 levels
>45 - hypoventilation
4
Q
Capnography - hypocapnia
A
<35 - over ventilation
