Release Date: 12/05/2023
Recorded 11th Dec 2023
Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel.
In this episode, panel members Tim Cook, Ellen O'Sullivan & Jan Hansel join hosts Nicholas Chrimes & Kirstin Fraser to discuss why capnography is essential to all airway management (not just intubation) and how to use it to prevent unrecognised oseophageal intubation.
They explore the role of capnography, gaps in access, waveform interpretation and how to train staff to use it effectively (including appropriate actions when CO2 is inadequate according to the international consensus guidelines for preventing unrecognised oesophageal intubation).
