The Use of Catheter Mount Will Result in More Reliable Carbon Dioxide Monitoring under Fluid Exposing Conditions

Figure 3

Individual ETCO2 for each breath over time measured by pDCCM and dDCCM under different water conditions (black circle - no water, grey circle - 5 ml water, white circle - 10 ml water) created within the endotracheal tube. Individual ETCO2 values monitored from every breath over time were represented as mean with standard errors (95% CI) using error bars. Abbreviations: dDCCM, distal capnometer of direct connect catheter mount; ETCO2, End-tidal carbon dioxide; pDCCM, proximal capnometer of direct connect catheter mount.
