Introduction
• Capnometry refers to the measurement and quantification of inhaled or exhaled CO2
concentrations at the airway opening.
• Capnography, however, refers not only to the method of CO2 measurement, but also to its graphic display as a function of time or volume.

Oxygenation and Ventilation
• Oxygenation
– Oxygen for metabolism
– SpO2 measures % of O2 in RBC
– Reflects change in oxygenation within 5 minutes
• Ventilation
– Carbon dioxide from metabolism
– EtCO2 measures exhaled CO2 at point of exit
– Reflects change in ventilation within 10 seconds

End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2)
• Reflects changes in
– Ventilation - movement of air in and out of the lungs
– Diffusion - exchange of gases between the air-filled alveoli and the pulmonary circulation
– Perfusion - circulation of blood
![Page 8: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Sidestream vs Mainstream Capnometry
Sidestream/ Diverging• CO2 sensor located away from the
airway gases to be measured.• Incorporate a pump or
compressor.• Tubing length- 6 ft• Gas withdrawal rate 30-
500ml/min• Lost gas volume needs to be
considered in closed circuit anesthesia.
• Gases must pass through various water traps and filters.
• Transport delay time• Associated RISE TIME
Mainstream/ Non- diverting• Sample cell placed directly in the
patients breathing circuit.
• Inspiratory and expiratory gases pass directly through the IR path
• Increase in dead space and is heavy
• Sample cell heated to 40 degrees to minimize condensation.
• Increased risk of facial burns.
• Requires daily calibration.
• No delay time
• RISE TIME is faster

Capnographic Waveform
• Normal waveform of one respiratory cycle
• Similar to ECG
– Height shows amount of CO2
– Length depicts time
![Page 18: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Waveforms on screen and printout may differ in duration
– On-screen capnography waveform is condensed to provide adequate information the in 4-second view.

Bronchospasm Waveform Pattern
• Bronchospasm hampers ventilation– Alveoli unevenly filled on inspiration – Empty asynchronously during expiration– Asynchronous air flow on exhalation dilutes exhaled
CO2
• Alters the ascending phase and plateau– Slower rise in CO2 concentration – Characteristic pattern for bronchospasm– “Shark Fin” shape to waveform

Advantages of volume capnogram
• Allows for estimation of the relative contributions of anatomic and alveolar components of Vd.
• More sensitive than the time capnogram in detecting subtle changes in dead space that are caused by alterations in PEEP, pulmonary blood flow, or ventilation heterogeneity.
• Allows for determination of the total mass of CO2 exhaled during a breath and provides for estimation of V˙ CO2.

• Objective data for decision to cease resuscitation
• Use feedback from EtCO2 to depth/rate/force of chest compressions during CPR.
![Page 57: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
In Laparoscopic Surgeries
1.Non invasive monitor of PaCO2 and can be used to adjust ventilation.2.Detection of accidental intravascular CO2 insufflation.3.Helps to detect complications of CO2 insufflation like pneumothorax.

Optimize Ventilation
• Use capnography to titrate EtCO2 levels in patients sensitive to fluctuations
• Patients with suspected increased intracranial pressure (ICP)
– Head trauma
– Stroke
– Brain tumors
– Brain infections
![Page 59: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Optimize Ventilation
• High CO2 levels induce cerebral vasodilatation– Positive: Increases CBF to
counter cerebral hypoxia
– Negative: Increased CBF, increases ICP and may increase brain edema
• Hypoventilation retains CO2
which increases levels
CO2
![Page 60: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Optimize Ventilation
• Low CO2 levels lead to cerebral vasoconstriction– Positive: EtCO2 of 25-30mmHG causes a
mild cerebral vasoconstriction which may decrease ICP
– Negative: Decreased ICP but may cause or increase in cerebral hypoxia
• Hyperventilation decreases CO2 levels CO2
![Page 61: End tidal co2 and transcutaneous monitoring](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042607/55a687171a28ab391e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

TRANSCUTANEOUS AND CARBON DIOXIDE MONITORS

• Transcutaneous measurements of PO2 (Ptco2) and Pco2 (Ptcco2) are monitoring methods that aim to provide noninvasive estimates of arterial O2 and CO2, or at least trends associated with these variables.
• Transcutaneous monitoring can be applied when expired gas sampling is limited.
• The measurements are based on the diffusion of O2 and CO2 through the skin.
• Used successfully in neonates and infants

• Applied when expired gas sampling is limited
• Measurements are based on the diffusion of CO2and O2 through the skin.
• Warming is used to facilitate gas diffusion.
• Such an increase in temperature promotes increased O2 and CO2 partial pressure at skin surface.
• Ptco2 is usually lower than PaO2, and Ptcco2 is higher than Paco2.

• A transducer using a pH electrode to measure the Pco2 (Stow-Severinghaus electrode) is used.
• A change in pH is proportional to the logarithm of the Pco2 change. For CO2
monitors
• A temperature correction factor is used to estimate Paco2 from Ptcco2.

Uses of Ptcco2
1. Assess the efficacy of mechanical ventilation in respiratory failure.
2. Laparoscopic surgery with prolonged pneumoperitoneum.
3. Deep sedation for ambulatory hysteroscopy in healthy patient.
4. Weaning from mechanical ventilation after off pump CABG.

Uses of Ptco2
• Detect hyperoxia in neonates
• Adults:
1. Wound management
2. peripheral vascular disease
3. hyperbaric medicine.

Limitations
• Poor cutaneous blood flow
• Frequent calibration
• Slow response time
• Skin burns with prolonged application
