This interactive lecture delves into pulse oximetry in the prehospital setting. It also details measurement methods and how to interpret blood oxygenation levels using pulse oximetry and capnography as well as how end-tidal carbon dioxide measures ventilation and perfusion. It discusses the phases of the end-tidal carbon dioxide waveform and how to analyze an readings to assess and monitor proper endotracheal tube placement, and determine and monitor effective ventilation and perfusion.

After completing this course, the practitioner will be able to:

• Recognize the differences between ventilation and oxygenation?
• Use pulse oximetry and capnography to interpret blood oxygenation and ventilation levels
• Understand how end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) establishes ventilation and perfusion
• Learn how capnography helps determine the phases of the ETCO2 waveform?
• Analyze an ETCO2 reading

Practitioners who successfully complete the Capnography (ALS Edition) course are eligible for 1 hours of continuing education through CAPCE. This continuing education course satisfies the NREMT’s NCCR 2016 Topic Capnography for Paramedics.
