What is Capnography?Noninvasive, continuous measurement of exhaled carbon dioxide concentration over time
Digital display provides EtCO2 value
Provides a distinct waveform for each respiratory cycle

History of Capnography in EMS
Colormetric- Useful device to confirm ET tube placement in patients not in cardiac arrestTube could be in esophagus or that circulation is not bringing CO2 to the lungs Prone to contamination, leads to false negatives

History of Capnography in EMS
Pulse oximetry preceded capnographyPulse oximetry measures oxygenationCapnography measures ventilationNew technologies now allow use in EMS

Capnometry
Provides only a numerical measurement of carbon dioxide (EtCO2)
![Page 9: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Capnogram
A waveform display of carbon dioxide over time

Physiology of CO2
Concentration of CO2 in alveoli:
Varies INDIRECTLY with ventilation
Increase Ventilation: Decrease CO2 in Alveoli
Decrease Ventilation: Increase CO2 in Alveoli
Varies DIRECTLY with perfusion
Decrease Perfusion: Decrease CO2 in Alveoli
Increase Perfusion: Increase CO2 in Alveoli
![Page 14: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Oxygenation and VentilationWhat is the difference?
Oxygenation: is the transport of O2 via the bloodstream to the cells
Oxygen is required for metabolism
Ventilation: is the movement of air into and out of the lungs
exhaling of CO2 via the respiratory tractCarbon dioxide is a byproduct of metabolism
![Page 15: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Oxygenation
Measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2)Noninvasive measurementPercentage of oxygen in red blood cellsChanges in ventilation take several minutes to be detectedAffected by motion artifact, poor perfusion, temperature
![Page 16: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ventilation
Measured by the end-tidal CO2
Partial pressure (mm Hg) or volume (%) of CO2 in the airway at end of exhalationBreath-to-breath measurement provides information within secondsNot affected by motion artifact, distal circulation, temperatureWill see respiratory arrest immediately
![Page 17: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Distinguishing between oxygenation and ventilation
![Page 18: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If ventilation is held constant, then changes in EtCO2 are
due to changes in cardiac output
![Page 19: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Documentation
• Continuous waveform allows for legal documentation
• Proof of correct tube placement, RR, EtCO2
• Effectiveness of treatment in patient care, early detection of deterioration
![Page 47: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• The era is over when we can justify not knowing whether an ETT is in place or
not.
• We may not be able to intubate everybody, but we must always know
when the tube is in place or not.
![Page 48: CAPNOGRAPHY presented by: Fred Halazon, NREMT-P Mike Burke, NREMT-P Cunningham Fire presented by: Fred…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5a4d1bd37f8b9ab0599d9377/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

• All pt’s with an ETT tube or King airway• All unconscious or altered pt’s • Any pt with BVM ventilation• Respiratory distress pt’s
