“…Most clinicians rely on a combination of direct vision and auscultation to confirm tracheal tube position. Capnography is the most reliable method of confirming tracheal tube placement in the prehospital setting9 10 but requires a specific electronic monitor. A number of simple devices are available to confirm tracheal placement including the Ambucheck device and colorimetry.…”

“…This result can be explained considering that, in the experimental setup, the sensor photodiode contributes to the variation of sensor's output, while in equation (4) this contribute is not taken into account. To correctly describe the experimental setup, the formulation reported in equation (5) has been used. This formulation considers both the emitter and receiver contribute to the sensor output.…”

“…Capnometry is the measurement of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration in respiratory gases [1]. It is a well-known and established method for monitoring patient's pulmonary function in a noninvasive way, widely used in emergency situations, as well as in intensive care or during anesthesia [2][3][4][5]. Even if the traditional use of capnometry is related to the field of respiratory monitoring, the application of this measurement in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems such as Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass (CPB) [6], Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) [7], and Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCO 2 R) [8] has been proposed.…”

Measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) in medical applications is a well-established method for monitoring patient’s pulmonary function in a noninvasive way widely used in emergency, intensive care, and during anesthesia. Even in extracorporeal-life support applications, such as Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECCO2R), Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), and cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB), measurement of the CO2 concentration in the membrane oxygenator exhaust gas is proven to be useful to evaluate the treatment progress as well as the performance of the membrane oxygenator. In this paper, we present a new optical sensor specifically designed for the measurement of CO2 concentration in oxygenator exhaust gas. Further, the developed sensor allows measurement of the gas flow applied to the membrane oxygenator as well as the estimation of the CO2 removal rate. A heating module is implemented within the sensor to avoid water vapor condensation. Effects of temperature on the sensor optical elements of the sensors are disclosed, as well as a method to avoid signal–temperature dependency. The newly developed sensor has been tested and compared against a reference device routinely used in clinical practice in both laboratory and in vivo conditions. Results show that sensor accuracy fulfills the requirements of the ISO standard, and that is suitable for clinical applications.

Introduction Capnography is routinely used for monitoring of patients subjected to sedation for different surgical procedures. There is still paucity of data highlighting the capnographic assessment of patients on midazolam sedation undergoing oral surgical procedures. Hence, we planned the present study to assess the alterations occurring in the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) values monitored during intravenous (IV) sedation with midazolam during various oral surgical procedures. Materials and methods The present study included assessment of alteration in ETCO2 values occurring during oral surgical procedure. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 40 participants were included in the present study. Pulse oximeter with capnograph (EmcoMeditek Pvt., Ltd., India) device was used for assessment of respiratory rate (RR) and ETCO2 values. The mean of 12 readings over a period of 1 minute before the starting of first infusion was referred to as baseline time. By evaluating the first four readings at an interval of 15 seconds during the 1st minute of infusion, we obtained the 1 minute average reading. All the data were compiled and recorded and assessed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results A total of 40 participants were included, out of which, 20 were males and 20 were females. At the baseline time, mean value of ETCO2 was 31 mm Hg, while mean value of oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 36%. Out of total 40 participants, 15 showed the presence of respiratory depression. Out of these 15 participants, ETCO2 changes from baseline were observed in 13 participants. Conclusion No oxygen should be delivered, unless until required, to the healthy participants undergoing dental sedation procedures, for marinating the sensitivity of pulse oximetry during assessment of respiratory depression. Clinical significance In patients undergoing sedation procedures, various monitoring techniques should be employed as respiratory depression is a commonly encountered risk factor.
