Question

Three minutes into a cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs chest compressions. capnography shows a persistent waveform and a petco2 of 8 mmhg. which is the significance of this finding?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the significance of this finding the Chest compressions may not be effective.

Explanation:

Wave from capnography represents the amount of carbon di -oxide in exhaled air, which is the partial pressure of carbon di -oxide at end of exhalation. It consists of number of graphs which shows that this problem is related to Chest.

Answer 2
