SUMMARY

Non-invasive respiratory gas monitoring is an essential measure in ensuring first responders’ safety during and after responding to a call involving hazardous gasses. Monitoring is now possible in the out-of-the-hospital setting. Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory system can be measured through pulse oximetry and capnography, respectively.

OBJECTIVE
Upon completing this educational curriculum on respiratory gas monitoring, by Bryan E. Bledsoe, DO, FACEP, the student will be able to clinically apply non-invasive respiratory gas monitoring in the out-of-hospital setting in order to enhance patient assessment skills and provide optimal interventions in patient care.
