Waveforms Don't Lie - Danny and Rance (DnR)

Saison 1 · Épisode 53

dimanche 19 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:03:40

In this episode, we explore the science, history, and frontline application of End-Tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) — a tool that offers real-time insight into ventilation, perfusion, and metabolism. Danny and Rance from DnR explain how paramedics can use ETCO₂ to assess and guide care across multiple patient presentations.

Key Takeaways:

ETCO₂ is the sixth vital sign — reflecting ventilation, perfusion, and metabolism in real time.
Capnography vs. Oximetry: SpO₂ shows what was happening; ETCO₂ shows what's happening now.
Waveform interpretation: Alpha and beta angles reveal underlying pathology like bronchospasm, obstruction, or air trapping.
Clinical uses:
- Tube confirmation: Real-time verification in 6 breaths or less.
- CPR: Values <10 mmHg after 20 mins indicate poor prognosis.
- Ventilation: Real-time feedback for rate and volume.
- Head injuries: Maintain normocapnia; hyperventilate only during herniation.
- Sepsis, trauma, PE, and DKA: Trending ETCO₂ helps identify metabolic and perfusion problems.
Practical tips:
- "Filter first, end-tidal to the sky."
- Inline sensors outperform sidestream for accuracy.
- End-tidal is not just for intubated patients — use it with nasal prongs for sedation and respiratory monitoring.
