Title: End-Tidal CO2: Beyond the Waveform

Category: Critical Care

Posted: 5/31/2016 by Haney Mallemat, MD

  • Many clinicians use end-tidal CO2 to monitor respirations during procedural sedation or mechanical ventilation
  • Typically either the presence (or absence) of a "normal" waveform or the quantitative value is used, however a lot more information can be gathered from the actual shape of the waveform; below are a few examples.
  • For more examples of interpreting waveforms, click HERE.
