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 fewer episodes of oxygen desaturation.

Assists in better patient cares 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.
