Monitoring changes of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide ( PetCO2 ) levels during cardiopulmonary resuscitation / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),PetCO2 monitoring helps to judge the status of circulation.Marked elevation of PetCO2 level is early sign for restoration of spontaneous circulation and successful CPR.PetCO2 level monitoring can predict probability of CPR success and it is also helpful to assist in confirming endotracheal tube placement,to assess for chest compression and ventilation.PetCO2 levels should be monitored during CPR.
