Capnography has been widely adopted in multiple clinical areas. The capnogram and end-tidal carbon dioxide offer a wealth of information, in the right clinical setting, and when properly interpreted. In this article, the authors aim to review the most common clinical scenarios during which capnography has been shown to be of benefit. This includes the areas of fluid responsiveness, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and conscious sedation. They review the published literature, highlighting its pitfalls and identifying its limitations.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to monitor transcutaneous and end-tidal partial pressures of CO simultaneously during polysomnography, determine the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and identify relevant factors that can affect the results.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 55 adults who underwent polysomnography at the Ajou University Hospital Sleep Center between February 2021 and September 2022. They were volunteers who spontaneously breathed room air.

: Capnography monitoring in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) plays a crucial role in the early detection of respiratory complications, being fundamental for patient safety. It provides objective and continuous data on ventilation, enabling timely interventions to optimize health outcomes. This scoping review aims to map the available evidence regarding barriers and facilitators to the use of capnography for respiratory monitoring by nurses in the Phase I PACU.

Background And Study Aims: Whether routine capnography monitoring during gastrointestinal endoscopy sedation can reduce occurrence of hypoxia is controversial. Older patients are more prone to hypoxia. This study aimed to determine the effect of additional capnography monitoring on incidence of hypoxia in older patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy under propofol sedation.

Study Objectives: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is an increasingly recognized co-morbidity in childhood obesity. SDB may contribute to the excessive weight gain; however, diagnosis and treatment strategies are not well-defined during childhood. Most pediatric studies focus solely on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), although hypoventilation may play a separate but pivotal role in the course of the condition.
