- Title
Capnography: the best anaesthetic monitoring tool?
- Authors
Wallace, Anarosa
- Abstract
ABSTRACT: Currently, there are a wide range of anaesthetic monitoring equipment to aid Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) in closely monitoring their patients under anaesthesia to reduce the risk of mortality and morbidity. Arguably, capnography can be seen as being as the most useful and valuable tool to use, as end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) corresponds to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood. This gives an indication of ventilation as well as other key pieces of information such as anaesthetic depth, cardiac output and equipment function.
