“…A flat capnogram after attempted tracheal intubation should be considered to indicate oesophageal intubation until this has been excluded [26,[32][33][34]. This includes when the patient is in cardiac arrest; if the trachea is intubated even during cardiac arrest an attenuated capnogram trace will be present [35]. An educational video on this topic is highlighted [36].…”

Summary This guideline updates and replaces the 5th edition of the Standards of Monitoring published in 2015. The aim of this document is to provide guidance on the minimum standards for monitoring of any patient undergoing anaesthesia or sedation under the care of an anaesthetist. The recommendations are primarily aimed at anaesthetists practising in the UK and Ireland, but it is recognised that these guidelines may also be of use in other areas of the world. Minimum standards for monitoring patients during anaesthesia and in the recovery phase are included. There is also guidance on monitoring patients undergoing sedation and during transfer. There are new sections specifically discussing capnography, sedation and regional anaesthesia. In addition, the indications for processed electroencephalogram and neuromuscular monitoring have been updated.

“…A broken or faulty capnograph might not produce an ETCO 2 waveform [7]. Nor might a patient in cardiac arrest not undergoing any chest compressions or lung ventilation (although, in fact, ETCO 2 waveforms are seen when ventilating even fresh‐frozen cadavers without chest compressions [8]). Ventilation may be impossible, and thus yield no expired carbon dioxide, if there is a complete tracheal tube blockage [9].…”
