Capnography Capnography is a very fast indicator of many problems that can arise during artificial ventilation.
{"Image DocumentName": "Capnography", "Image ImageDescription": "Carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the waste products of cell metabolism, is created as we burn glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The excess CO2 is carried by the blood to the lungs where it leaves the body during the expiratory phase of respiration. After the expiratory phase is complete the inspiratory phase begins, we take in more oxygen, and that part of the metabolic cycle begins again. There is significance in not only the concentration of CO2 measured at the end of the expiratory phase, but also in comparison to the concentration of CO2 in arterial blood. Carbon dioxide is one of the waste products of cell metabolism. It is created as we burn glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The excess CO2 is carried in blood plasma of the venous system to the lungs where it is expelled from the body through the lungs during the exhalation phase of respiration. At the end of the expiratory phase the inspiratory phase takes place and oxygen is taken in and delivered to the body and this part of the metabolic cycle begins again. There is clinical significance in not only the concentration of CO2 measured at the end of the expiratory phase, but also in comparison to the concentration of CO2 dissolved in blood plasma of arterial blood. \u00a9 2010 \u2013 J.
