Capnography - low EtC02 causes

Answer 1

Poor seal - trouble shoot, consider airway adjuncts

Poor perfusion - correct perfusion

Hyperventilation - modify ventilation rate

Capnography - high EtC02 causes

Answer 2

Hypoventilation - increase volume or ventilation rate, reduce PEEP

Question 3

Capnography - hypercpania

Answer 3

High C02 levels
>45 - hypoventilation

Question 4
