Anaesthesia

Capnography: No Trace = Wrong Place

Certificate available: complete this course to be awarded a certificate

5 out of 5 (1 rating)

If during general anaesthesia a capnograph trace is completely flat, it must be assumed that oesophoegeal intubation has occurred, until it is *proven* otherwise. Clinicians should act quickly to protect patients. The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) and The Difficult Airway Society (DAS) have partnered to produce this information video, presented by Professor Tim Cook, anaesthetist and intensivist in Bath and advisor on airway matters to the RCoA. This information is vital for all anaesthetists, intensivists, emergency physicians, peadiatricians who intubate, cardiac arrest teams, pre-hospital teams, advanced paramedic practitioners, and may be useful for the entire surgical team. For more information, please visit http://www.rcoa.ac.uk or http://www.das.uk.com. More detailed information on NAP4 can be found at https://www.nationalauditprojects.org....
