Capnography is an indirect monitor of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in a patient’s blood. During anaesthesia, there is interplay between two components: the patient and the anaesthesia administration device (which is usually a circuit and a ventilator). The critical connection between the two components is either an endotracheal tube or a mask, and CO2 is typically monitored at this junction. Capnography directly reflects the elimination of CO2 by the lungs to the anaesthesia device. ...
