How many of you are routinely monitoring ETCO2 during a MAC?
How do you monitor ETCO2 during a MAC? I have seen or used (1) ETCO2 nasal cannula with and without a piece covering the mouth, (2) Angiocath attached to sample line inserted into the nose, mouth, oral airway or mask. We haven't tried any of the available ETCO2 masks.
Anyone have any tricks or experience with any of the ETCO2 masks on the market? Is there any you would recommend?
With electronic anesthesia records we can no longer just write "+" in the box.
