Capnography as a Tool to Improve Noninvasive Ventilation: Technical Key Topics and Clinical Implications

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is used in acute and chronic respiratory failure with or without pressure support. It is most effective in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, and arterial blood gas analysis are used for monitoring of respiratory status and efficacy of the treatment. Capnography is a noninvasive method for this purpose and a new tool with microstream technology.
