Oxygenation
• Measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2)
– Noninvasive measurement
– Percentage of oxygen in red blood cells
– Changes in ventilation take minutes
to be detected
– Affected by motion artifact, poor perfusion
and some dysrhythmias
• Capnography provides information about
CO2 production, pulmonary perfusion,
alveolar ventilation, respiratory patterns,
and elimination of CO2 from the
anesthesia circuit and ventilator.
Ventilation
• Measured by the end-tidal CO2
– Partial pressure (mmHg) or volume (% vol) of
CO2 in the airway at the end of exhalation
– Breath-to-breath measurement, provides
information within seconds
– Not affected by motion artifact, poor perfusion
or dysrhythmias
Oxygenation and Ventilation
• Oxygenation
– Oxygen for
metabolism
– SpO2 measures
% of O2 in RBC
– Reflects change in
oxygenation within
5 minutes
• Ventilation
– Carbon dioxide
from metabolism
– EtCO2 measures
exhaled CO2 at
point of exit
– Reflects change in
ventilation within
10 seconds
Why Capnography ?
• Capnography, an indirect monitor
helps in the differential diagnosis of hypoxia
to enable remedial measures to be taken before
hypoxia results in an irreversible brain damage
• Capnography has been shown to be effective in
the early detection of adverse respiratory events.
• Capnography and pulse oximetry together
could have helped in the prevention of
93% of avoidable anesthesia mishaps
according to ASA closed claim study.
• Capnography has also been shown to
facilitates better detection of potentially
life-threatening problems than clinical
judgment alone
Case Scenario
• 61 year old male
• C/O: ―short-of-breath‖ and ―exhausted‖
• H/O: > 45 years of smoking 2 packs a day,
3 heart attacks, high blood pressure
• Meds: ―too expensive to take every day ‖
• Exam: HR 92, RR 18, 160/100, 2+ pitting
edema, wheezing, crackles
What other information would help in
making assessment of this pt.?
Why Measure Ventilation—
Non-Intubated Patients
• Objectively assess acute
respiratory disorders
– Asthma
– COPD
• Possibly gauge response to treatment
Why Measure Ventilation—
Non-intubated Patients
• Gauge severity of hypoventilation states
– Drug intoxication
– Congestive heart failure
– Sedation and analgesia
– Stroke
– Head injury
• Assess perfusion status

• Exhaled carbon dioxide is EtCO2
– Normal range: 35-45mmHg
End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2)
• Reflects changes in
– Ventilation - movement of air in and
out of the lungs
– Diffusion - exchange of gases between
the air-filled alveoli and the pulmonary
circulation
– Perfusion - circulation of blood
End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2)
• Monitors changes in
– Ventilation - asthma, COPD, airway
edema, foreign body, stroke
– Diffusion - pulmonary edema,
alveolar damage, CO poisoning,

Raman effect
• Electromagnetic radiation and molecule
• The transfer of energy affects the vibration
energy associated with bonds between the
atoms in a molecule
• Absorption of radiation at a particular
wave length is associated with the specific
type of bond between atoms in a
molecule.
Absorption of radiation depends on
the wavelength of radiation
• Energy of radiation is proportional to the
frequency of radiation
• the transfer of energy between the
radiation and molecule results in a change
in the wavelength of radiation
Raman spectrography
• Raman Spectrography uses the principle of "Raman
Scattering" for CO2 measurement.
• The gas sample is aspirated into an analyzing
chamber, where the sample is illuminated by a high
intensity monochromatic argon laser beam.
• The light is absorbed by molecules which are then
excited to unstable vibrational or rotational energy
states (Raman scattering).
• The Raman scattering signals (Raman light) are of low
intensity and are measured at right angles to the laser
beam.
• The spectrum of Raman scattering lines can be used
to identify all types of molecules in the gas phase
Mass spectrograpy
Chemical method of CO2 measurement -
pH sensitive chemical indicator
Effect of atmospheric pressure
• FEtCO2=partial pressure(atmospheric
pressure-water vapour pressure)*100
• At atm pressure of 760mmHg,
FEtCO2=38(760-47)*100 =5%
at atm pressure of 500mmHg
FEtCO2=38(500-47)*100 =8%
Influence of water vapour
1. Effect of condensed water:
Water vapor may condense on the
window of the sensor cell and absorb IR
light, thereby produce falsely high C02
readings
2. Effect of water vapor.
The temperature of the sampling gases
may decrease during the passage from the
patient to the unit, resulting in a decrease in
the partial pressure of water vapor. This can
cause an apparent increase in C02
concentration of about 1.5-2%

4, can occur in
pregnant subjects,
obese subjects
and low
compliance states
The slope the expiratory plateau is increased as a
normal physiological variation in pregnancy

Detection of pulmonary air embolism
• A rapid decrease of PETCO2
in the absence of changes in
blood pressure, central
venous pressure and heart
rate indicates an air embolism
without systemic
hemodynamic consequences.
• as the size of air embolism
increases, a reduction in
cardiac output occurs which
further decreases PETCO2
measurement. A reduced
cardiac output by itself can
decrease PETCO2.

  • 27. Raman effect • Electromagnetic radiation and molecule • The transfer of energy affects the vibration energy associated with bonds between the atoms in a molecule • Absorption of radiation at a particular wave length is associated with the specific type of bond between atoms in a molecule.
  • 28. Absorption of radiation depends on the wavelength of radiation
  • 29. • Energy of radiation is proportional to the frequency of radiation • the transfer of energy between the radiation and molecule results in a change in the wavelength of radiation
  • 30. Raman spectrography • Raman Spectrography uses the principle of "Raman Scattering" for CO2 measurement. • The gas sample is aspirated into an analyzing chamber, where the sample is illuminated by a high intensity monochromatic argon laser beam. • The light is absorbed by molecules which are then excited to unstable vibrational or rotational energy states (Raman scattering). • The Raman scattering signals (Raman light) are of low intensity and are measured at right angles to the laser beam. • The spectrum of Raman scattering lines can be used to identify all types of molecules in the gas phase

  • 35. Influence of water vapour 1. Effect of condensed water: Water vapor may condense on the window of the sensor cell and absorb IR light, thereby produce falsely high C02 readings
  • 36. 2. Effect of water vapor. The temperature of the sampling gases may decrease during the passage from the patient to the unit, resulting in a decrease in the partial pressure of water vapor. This can cause an apparent increase in C02 concentration of about 1.5-2% FEtCO2=partial pressure(atmospheric pressure-water vapour pressure)*100

Side-stream Capnographs advantages Easy to connect No problems with sterilization Can be used in awake patients Easy to use when patient is in unusual positions such as in prone position Can be used in collaboration with simultaneous oxygen administration via a nasal prong disadvantages Delay in recording due to movement of gases from the ET to the unit Sampling tube obstruction Water vapor pressure changes affect CO2 concentrations Pressure drop along the sampling tube affects CO2 measurements
  • 42. Sampling of CO2 from nasal cannulae
  • 43. Adequacy of spontaneous respiration Sampling of CO2 from oxygen mask
  • 45. Mainstream • Advantages No sampling tube No obstruction No affect due to pressure drop No affect due to changes in water vapor pressure No pollution No deformity of capnograms due to non dispersion of gases No delay in recording Suitable for neonates and children • Disadvantages weight of the sensor, (the newer sensors are light weight minimizing traction on the endotracheal tube) Long electrical cord, but it is lightweight. Sensor windows may clog with secretions( they can be replaced easily as they are disposable) Difficult to use in unusual patient positioning such as in prone positions.
