Quantitative Waveform Capnography Use in ACLS
Manage episode 489186028 series 3289457
Quantitative waveform capnography is used in ACLS
- to objectively assess good CPR;
- confirm placement of an endotracheal tube;
- identify return of spontaneous circulation; and
- during post-cardiac arrest care.
We can use waveform capnography with, and without, an advanced airway in place.
Monitoring end tidal CO2 during rescue breathing.
Use of capnography to objectively measure good CPR.
Capnography is a preferred method of confirming endotracheal tube (ETT) placement over x-ray during a code.
During CPR, a sudden increase in ETCO2 may indicate ROSC.
Quantitative waveform capnography use in the post-cardiac arrest algorithm.
Good luck with your ACLS class!
