Patient Monitoring During Procedural Sedation
! Before 1980’s - Nurse assessment only
! Late 1980’s - Pulse oximetry introduced ! Revealed truths
! e.g. “blue” patient = <80% O2 saturation
! 1995 - Standard of Care: Pulse oximetry plus a dedicated nurse performing direct visual assessment
![Page 5: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Today…
! Difficult to imagine clinical practice without pulse oximetry
![Page 6: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Important to recognize! ! Pulse oximetry:
! Measures the concentration of O2-bound hemoglobin
! Reflects oxygenation, NOT ventilation
! Late indicator of ventilatory problems
! Current standard monitoring may not detect apnea until O2 desaturation has occurred.
![Page 7: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Is Capnography?
! A non-invasive, continuous measurement of exhaled carbon dioxide concentration
! Expired CO2 is sampled via specialized nasal cannulae
! Measures ventilation, NOT oxygenation
![Page 8: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What info does capnography provide?
ETCO2 display
! Numerical value for ETCO2
! Distinct waveform (tracing) for each respiratory cycle
Capnometer
Capnograph
![Page 11: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Overall principles of capnography
! Accurately monitors respiratory rate
! Monitors ventilation in non-intubated patients
! Monitors hypoventilation more effectively than pulse oximetry
! Early indicator of ventilation issues
! Early warning of apnea
![Page 12: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What’s the Difference?
Ventilation and Oxygenation….
![Page 13: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Oxygenation and Ventilation ! Respiratory Cycle = two-phase
! related, but separate physiologic processes
! Oxygenation
! Ventilation
![Page 14: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Physiology of Oxygenation and Ventilation
![Page 15: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Oxygenation vs. Ventilation Oxygenation
! Measured by pulse oximetry ! O2 attached to
hemoglobin
! Influenced by supplemental O2
! May remain normal even after patient stops breathing
Ventilation
! Measured by capnography ! Expired and
inspired levels of ETCO2
! Not affected by O2 delivery
! Does not appear normal if patient is not breathing
![Page 16: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Oxygenation and Ventilation
![Page 17: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A-B: Baseline = no CO2 in breath
B-C: Rapid rise in CO2
C-D: Alveolar plateau
D
D: End expiration (EtCO2)
Normal Waveform
![Page 18: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypoventilation
![Page 19: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hyperventilation
![Page 20: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How do you know when breathing is abnormal???
! Changes from baseline ! Change in
ETCO2 value >10 mmHg
! Significant waveform change
! Becomes erratic
! Flatlines
![Page 21: Capnography - Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/62a438e69b71fe6527240c65/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Keep it simple…

Indications for Capnography*
! Deep sedation
! Difficult-to-sedate patients
! Difficult-to-monitor patients
! Patients at risk for apnea (i.e. Obese)
! Patients who cannot be adequately assessed via typical means (e.g. visually)
! Patients receiving supplemental oxygen
! Elderly, More complex patients??

Putting It All Together…
! Capnograms can provide immediate information about: ! Airway obstruction ! Hypoventilation ! Total lack of breathing
! Ventilatory abnormalities on capnography preceed oxygen desaturation, as noted on oximetry.

Putting It All Together…
Early detection
+ Early intervention =
! Improved patient safety
