Capnography Monitors
Capnography monitors measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a patient's exhaled breath, providing a continuous graphical display (capnogram) and a numerical value (EtCO2). This vital information reflects the effectiveness of ventilation and, indirectly, circulation and metabolism. Capnography is essential in anesthesia, critical care, and emergency medicine for confirming endotracheal tube placement, assessing respiratory depression, and evaluating the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It offers immediate feedback on a patient's respiratory status, enabling rapid clinical decision-making.

Capnography monitors are medical devices used to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a patient's exhaled breath, providing a real-time waveform known as a capnogram. This measurement, known as end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), reflects the effectiveness of ventilation and circulation. Capnography is invaluable in numerous clinical settings, including emergency medicine, anesthesia, and critical care. It helps confirm proper endotracheal tube placement during intubation, monitors the adequacy of ventilation during sedation, assesses the effectiveness of CPR during cardiac arrest, and detects early signs of respiratory depression or impending respiratory failure. By offering immediate, breath-by-breath feedback on a patient's ventilatory status, capnography provides a crucial safety parameter, enabling healthcare providers to quickly identify and address respiratory compromises and improve patient outcomes.
