With the use of nasal capnography and capnometry in addition to simultaneous O2 administration during fiberoptic intubation under extreme conditions excellent analgosedation with propofol and remifentanil could be provided without compromising our patients' safety. The presented CO2 measuring and O2 administering device represents a simple and cheap expansion of standard anesthetic monitoring during fiberoptic intubation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
