An early indicator of reperfusion from ROSC is sudden rise in EtCO 2 and thereby may help to decrease deleterious pauses in chest compressions for pulse checksĭeitch K, Miner J, Chudnofsky CR, Dominici P, Latta D.Prognostic factor of ROSC if Can provide a quantitative measure of chest compression effectiveness.The gold standard for confirmation of tracheal placement ( Grmec 2002).Pattern also seen in leaks in breathing system (endotracheal tube leaks).Upsloping of alveolar plateau due to alveolar leak of CO 2.Metabolic acidosis → decreased HCO 3 → compensatory hyperventilation → increased minute ventilation and decreased ETCO 2.May also detect other adverse effects, such as bronchospasm, laryngospasm, or upper airway obstruction.Median time to difference in detection = 60 seconds.Earlier recognition of respiratory depression when compared to pulse-oximetry ( Deitch 2010).Unlike pulse-oximetry, not prone to motion artifact.Sedated patients (Opioid Abuse, EtOH intoxication, procedural sedation, etc.).Purple ( 50 mmHg or increase greater than 10 mmHg from baselineĬlinical Applications in the Emergency Department.Colorimetric – qualitative measure (color change) of expired CO 2 covering a wide range of values, therefore use is limited primarily to verify correct ETT placement.Can be placed in parallel and can be used in non-intubated patients (e.g.Side Stream detector – takes sample of expired gas.
#End tidal co2 range series#
In series with endotracheal intubation tube.Mainstream – must be attached to the ventilator circuit.Definition: Noninvasive measurement of the concentration (partial pressure) of expired carbon dioxide over time.
