Monitoring Data
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2) | - measures exhaled carbon dioxide. - using infrared absorption. |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Set-up | - once the capnograph is set up - an arterial blood gas is drawn to correlate the values. |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Values | - normally the PetC02 will read lower than arterial PCO2 - Paco2 = 40 torr PetCO2 = 30 torr |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Display Value | - ETCO2 can be displayed as a percent % - normal value is 3-5% |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Sensors | = sensors should be placed proximal to patient airway connection(ETT). |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Increased Value | - an increase in the PECO2 or PETCO2 = decreased ventilation ventilator failure. |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Decreased Value | - a decrease in PECO2 or PETCO2 = increase ventilation or * decreased perfusion, * deadspace disease * pulmonary embolism * hypovolemia |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Zero Read | - reading of 0 or low , = reconnect patient to ventilator |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Low PETCO2 | - low PETCO2 readings immediately following intubation = would indicate that the ET tube is in the esophagus |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/CPR | - during CPR PETCO2 should increase |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Exhaled CO2 Detectors | - exhaled CO2 detector device are available to detect esophageal intubation |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Disposable | - non electric portable disposable devices are designed to produce a color change. |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Disposable/Color Change | - Purple = Poor - Yellow = Normal |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/False Reading | - a false reading can occur in patients who have been without CPR for a period of time. |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Other Usage | - maybe used to confirm = tracheal intubation |
| Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Other False Readings | - moisture and secretions can cause false readings and obstruct the sample tube (will read zero) |
