The EtCO₂ Reading Is Only Half the Picture.

A single value can tell you only so much.

Capnography offers more information than the number alone.

Here's how to understand what you're seeing on the monitor. 🧵

[Critical Care Time @CritCareTime]

In our latest Back to Basics episode, Nick and Cyrus break down EtCO₂, its clinical applications, and how to interpret capnography waveforms.

Capnography isn’t just a number.

The waveform contains physiological clues that can help inform patient care.

Knowing what to look for can make waveform capnography a much more useful bedside tool.

An unrecognized esophageal intubation can have devastating consequences.

Capnography helps confirm tube placement and can provide an early warning when something is wrong.

Stay out of island jail. Use capnography.

The number on the monitor is only part of the story.

EtCO₂ reflects ventilation, perfusion, and metabolism. The waveform can reveal even more.

In our latest episode, Nick and Cyrus break down what to look for when reading a capnogram.

Before You Call an ICU Patient COMBATIVE, See their Reality.

A patient pulling at lines or resisting care can quickly get that label.

Confusion or perceived threat may be driving it.

Understanding what the patient is experiencing can change how you respond. 🧵

[Critical Care Time @CritCareTime]

Understand the Behavior Before You Label It.

What looks like resistance may be a response to fear or perceived threat.

Understanding the patient’s reality can change how we approach them.

Better care starts with asking what the patient thinks is happening.
