The 10 pages that link to Capnography, each with the reason it gives.

• Respiratory depressionRelated: It can detect inadequate ventilation before oxygen saturation falls.

• SedationRelated: It can reveal hypoventilation before oxygen saturation falls.

• Airway managementRelated: It helps confirm ventilation and detect changes after an airway device is placed.

• Procedural sedationRelated: It can reveal hypoventilation before oxygen saturation falls, especially when supplemental oxygen is used.

• Vital signsRelated: It supplements breathing rate by tracking ventilation and exhaled carbon dioxide.

• HyperventilationRelated: End-tidal carbon dioxide often falls when ventilation is excessive.

• Respiratory rateRelated: Its waveform can show breath timing and reveal changes missed by a simple rate count.

• Central hypoventilation syndromeRelated: Continuous carbon dioxide monitoring can detect hypoventilation that oxygen readings alone may miss.

• General anaestheticRelated: It helps detect ventilation problems during general anaesthesia.

• Tracheal intubationRelated: A sustained exhaled carbon dioxide waveform helps confirm tracheal tube placement.
