Monitoring the Resolution of Acute Exacerbation of Airway Bronchoconstriction in an Asthma Attack Using Capnogram Waveforms

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...
