Sepsis and ETCO2 Monitoring...Not Just For ET Tube Placement Anymore!

  • Summary

  • Thanks to Yusuf Ahady for his suggestion on this week's episode. I'll be in touch with Yusuf to get his SWAG package headed his way.

    End-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) monitoring, a noninvasive technique measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled air, is emerging as a valuable tool in the management of sepsis, a systemic response to infection with potentially life-threatening consequences. In sepsis, the body's response to infection can lead to altered cellular metabolism and changes in respiratory function, both of which can affect CO2 levels. ETCO2 monitoring provides real-time insights into a patient's respiratory status and metabolic activity, which are crucial in sepsis management.

    I'd love to hear from you as to the topics that you would like to hear covered. Visit the Ten Minute Medic Facebook page and leave a post on that topic. If it is selected, I'll send you some awesome SWAG!
