Capnography is the monitoring of carbon dioxide in the respiratory gases. It has been used in the operating room as a monitoring tool during anesthesia and and in intensive care.

What does a presence of waveform on the capnography screen and petco2 level of 8 means?

The presence of a waveform on the capnography screen indicates that there is effective ventilation and that carbon dioxide is being expelled from the lungs. However, a PETCO2 level of 8 mmHg is significantly lower than the normal range (typically 35-45 mmHg) and suggests severe hypoventilation or respiratory distress. This combination of a waveform with such a low PETCO2 level may indicate a patient who is breathing inadequately, potentially requiring urgent medical intervention.


What is respiratory gas exchange?

Respiratory gas exchange is the diffusion of both carbon dioxide and oxygen from the capillaries to the alveoli in our lungs, and vice versa.
