Colorimetric capnography is a qualitative measurement method that detects the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2, a relatively acidic gas) in a given gaseous environment. From a medical perspective, the method is usually applied by exposing litmus paper/film to an environment containing a patient's airway gases (i.e. placing it into their breathing circuit/airway circuit), where it will then ...
Capnography is the monitoring of the concentration or partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the respiratory gases.Its main development has been as a monitoring tool for use during anesthesia and intensive care.
A carbon dioxide sensor or CO 2 sensor is an instrument for the measurement of carbon dioxide gas. The most common principles for CO 2 sensors are infrared gas sensors and chemical gas sensors.

During the 2019–2020 COVID-19 pandemic, various kinds of ventilators have been considered. Deaths caused by COVID-19 have occurred when the most severely infected experience acute respiratory distress syndrome, a widespread inflammation in the lungs that impairs the lungs' ability to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. These patients ...
The coronavirus can damage the heart, according to a major new study which found abnormalities in the heart function of more than half of patients.
Integrated pulmonary index (IPI) is a patient pulmonary index which uses information from capnography and pulse oximetry to provide a single value that describes the patient's respiratory status. IPI is used by clinicians to quickly assess the patient's respiratory status to determine the need for additional clinical assessment or intervention.
