Ensures quality of CPR and is an early indicator for ROSC¹

• A value of less than 10 mmHg is associated with failure to achieve ROSC and may indicate that the quality of chest compressions should be improved.

Detect ventilator troubles

• 8-25% of anesthesia accidents were reported as being due to breathing circuit problems.
• Breakdown of breathing circuit problems: Circuit disconnection 8-15%, Misconnection of circuits 2-4%, Displacement of endotracheal tube 2-6%.

Avoid unrecognized esophageal intubation²

• Patients worldwide die every year from unrecognized esophageal intubation, which is an avoidable complication of airway management usually resulting from human error.
• Checking correct tracheal tube placement using capnography for identification and monitoring of expired carbon dioxide (CO₂) is necessary to avoid human error.

Reduce frequency of hypoxemic events^{3, 4}

• Continual monitoring of ventilatory function with capnography to supplement standard monitoring by observation and pulse oximetry is recommended to address moderate procedural sedation and analgesia.
• Access to capnography provides fewer but more timely interventions for hypoventilation, which leads to fewer episodes of hypoventilation and of oxygen desaturation.

Assists in better patient care and outcomes⁵

• The monitoring of ventilation using capnography is vital for titrating sedatives to which different patients have variable levels of sensitivity, and provides early warning signs of adverse respiratory events.
