Course Description

Many clinics have capnography, but many technicians have not utilized this skill. If you need a refresher or a good basic start in capnography, this is the course for you. We will discuss the basic principles of capnography, along with the different types of capnograph units commonly used in practice today. Capnograph waveforms will comprise a large portion of the lecture, and participants will be taught how to read and recognize normal vs. abnormal tracings, including what causes common abnormalities and how to rectify them.
