Why is continuous waveform cap so good/important
It is the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring ET tube placement & compression effectiveness
What does it monitor
The effectiveness of compressions during CPR
What is the minimum value we want
PETCO2 of at least 10mm Hg
CAP also is used for early detection of what
ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation)
What is the CAP sign of ROSC

What is the ideal pulse Ox that we are trying to maintain
Around 94% but remember not to over ventilate
Titrate the oxygen administration to maintain a pulse ox of…
