Case Studies in Capnography: So Much More Than Ventilation
Capnography provides continuous, dynamic assessment of the ventilatory status of patients. This modality can be a helpful monitoring adjunct as a marker of ventilation in patients with ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) matching. Historically, the challenge in interpretation of capnography values has been ...
