Download or read book Emergency Capnography written by Hugh Greenbaum and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This portable and practical pocket guide explains how capnography works both physiologically and electronically and helps clinical staff to apply the tool promptly and correctly, and to interpret appropriately the numeric and graphic displays, providing vital information when viewed in the context of the patient’s clinical presentation, history, and other diagnostic data that will improve and enhance care. Initial chapters explain how to interpret the data displayed in the context of various conditions, and how the care provider may respond to that data.

From reviews of the First Edition: “This meritorious volume is a splendid collection of materials from highly experienced authors...I will make extensive use of this reference as the academic medical center in which I work continues to build sedation practices and assess credentialing/privileging aspects for professionals of all fields.” —Joseph R. Tobin, MD in Journal of the American Medical Association. “Brings together sedation practice from a broad range of specialties into one well-written pediatric text...I will certainly be using this book as a reference text in the future.” — Pediatric Anesthesia. “The first [text] directed at all specialists that treat children who require some sedation...also recognizes the contributions to pediatric sedation of many international societies and governmental organizations...It should be on the shelves of all office-based practices.” —Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology. "With the ever-increasing opportunities to perform various investigations and therapeutic procedures, combined with increasing demands and expectations from children and their parents, the need and demand for safe and effective sedation of paediatric patients outside the operating room is increasing. Against this background, the second edition of ‘Pediatric Sedation Outside the Operating Room’ is a very timely addition to the anaesthesia literature."—British Journal of Anesthesia
