ABSTRACT
End-tidal capnography can provide useful clinical information displayed on the ventilator screen or bedside monitor. It is important that clinicians can assess and utilise this information to assist in identifying underlying complications and pulmonary pathology. Sudden change or loss of the CO2 waveform can act as a safety measure in alerting clinicians of a dislodged or blocked endotracheal tube, considering the concurrent flow and volume waveforms. Visual pattern recognition by the clinicians of commonly seen waveform traces may act as an adjunct to other modes of ventilatory monitoring techniques. Waveforms traces can aid clinical management, help identify cases of ventilation asynchrony between the infant and the ventilator. We present some common clinical scenarios where tidal capnography can be useful in the timely identification of pulmonary complication and for practical troubleshooting at the cot-side.
