1 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE CAPNOGRAPHY DURING PROCEDURAL SEDATION

2 Changes in capnography values and waveforms may help clinicians understand a patient s level of comfort, sedation, and respiratory function during procedural sedation. Diagnosis 1 Values 1 Intervention 1 SpO2 None required, continue sedation mmhg CO2 (mmhg) seconds Diagnosis 1 Values 1 Intervention 3 Ineffective breathing pattern mmhg CO2 (mmhg) SpO2 Reassess patient and continue sedation Variable 0 Time 2

3 Hyperventilation SpO2 Reassess patient and continue sedation Hyperventilation Decreased can be a sign of anxiety, pain or and width metabolic issues 3 1 <35 mmhg 3

4 Hypopneic hypoventilation (shallow breathing) 1 <35 mmhg SpO2 Reassess patient and continue sedation Decreased SpO2 Reassess patient Decreased administration or reduce dosing Assess for airway Consider supplemental oxygen Diagnosis 1 Values 1 Intervention 1 Hypopneic hypoventilation with periodic breathing 1 <35 mmhg SpO2 Other or Decreased Apneic pauses Reassess the patient administration or reduce dosing Assess for airway Consider supplemental oxygen Time 4
