Patient Evaluation

Monitoring Data

QuestionAnswer
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2) - measures exhaled carbon dioxide. - using infrared absorption.
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Set-up - once the capnograph is set up - an arterial blood gas is drawn to correlate the values.
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Values - normally the PetC02 will read lower than arterial PCO2 - Paco2 = 40 torr PetCO2 = 30 torr
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Display Value - ETCO2 can be displayed as a percent % - normal value is 3-5%
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Sensors = sensors should be placed proximal to patient airway connection(ETT).
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Increased Value - an increase in the PECO2 or PETCO2 = decreased ventilation ventilator failure.
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Decreased Value - a decrease in PECO2 or PETCO2 = increase ventilation or * decreased perfusion, * deadspace disease * pulmonary embolism * hypovolemia
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Zero Read - reading of 0 or low , = reconnect patient to ventilator
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Low PETCO2 - low PETCO2 readings immediately following intubation = would indicate that the ET tube is in the esophagus
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/CPR - during CPR PETCO2 should increase
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Exhaled CO2 Detectors - exhaled CO2 detector device are available to detect esophageal intubation
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Disposable - non electric portable disposable devices are designed to produce a color change.
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Disposable/Color Change - Purple = Poor - Yellow = Normal
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/False Reading - a false reading can occur in patients who have been without CPR for a period of time.
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Other Usage - maybe used to confirm = tracheal intubation
Monitoring Data Capnography/(ECO2,ETCO2,PetCO2)/Other False Readings - moisture and secretions can cause false readings and obstruct the sample tube (will read zero)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
