Monitoring the Resolution of Acute Exacerbation of Airway Bronchoconstriction in an Asthma Attack Using Capnogram Waveforms
BACKGROUND:. Patients with acute bronchospasm can show a distinct slope of the capnogram (“shark fin”) as a result of asynchronous alveolar excretion. Although the slope of the upward alveolar plateau (phase III) in the capnogram waveforms of non-intubated patients is known to help monitor the thera...
