Capnography

Capnography and the interpretation of numeric and waveform data is a mainstay for EMTs and paramedics in prehospital patient assessment and monitoring. From evaluating altered mental status, to dyspnea, to preparing for an advanced airway, this assessment tool is one of the biggest advancements in EMS within the past decade.

The capnography topic focuses on the critical role of capnography, product development, research and EMS training.
