Capnography for Paramedics

[Ken Gilcrest]

Here is a suggestion for a show topic or possibly a live interview.
I haven't listened to every episode of the show, so if you already covered this please disregard.

I came across this website while trying to research capnography. It is some excellent stuff. Especially the article on 10 Things Every Paramedic Should Know About Capnography: the link is on the right side of the page located at: http://emscapnography.blogspot.com/2006/05/welcome.html

The response to this post has certainly been underwhelming.
No point wasting time talking to myself.

I guess I will see you on the big one. I'm out.

Hi Ken
Yep, Capnography is by far the best initial and on going reference to correct tube placement there is...........now that it is becoming more available via the Lifepak 12 & 15 then it can be a great tool for us to use. In Anaesthetics the capnograph is utilised greatly and can also be a primary indicator for malignant hyperthermia.
