Why the study?
Does capnography improve the detection of apnea compared to standard monitoring in patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care?
Does capnography improve the detection of apnea compared to standard monitoring in patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care?
Capnography and thoracic impedance monitoring reliably detect apnea during monitored anesthesia care that is missed by standard provider observation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Provider observation may miss apneas during monitored anesthesia care; leaves open whether capnography improves outcomes.
Soto et al. (2004) studied this question.
