In the presence of motion, SET separates the venous and arterial saturation values resulting in accurate saturation readings without false alarms (compared to conventional oximetry that averages the values to produce a reading)

14,438 Patient Brown University Study

• Partridge and Jay (Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University Medical School), assessed carbon monoxide (CO) levels of 10,856 ED patients

• 11 unsuspected cases of CO Toxicity (COT) were discovered.Overall mean SpCO was 3.60%

• Occult COT was 4 in 10,000 during cold, 1 in 10,000 during warm months

• They concluded “unsuspected COT may be identified using noninvasive COHb screening and the prevalence of COT may be higher than previously recognized”

Pulse Oximetry

Problems:

•Accuracy

•Motion & artifact

•Dyshemoglobins

Case # 4 – Which Pressure Is Right?

78 yo trauma patient BP • A-line = 70/42 (50)• NIBP = 90/50 (52)

Errors in BP Measurement

Cuff Size:• Too large = BP• Too small = BP• 2/3 extremity length

Mid Heart Level:• Higher = BP• Lower = BP• Best sitting, arm @ side

Page 26: Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP Senior Staff RN – Cardiothoracic Surgical ICUs Albany Medical College – Albany, New York Chair – Resuscitation Committee.

How does NIBP work?

• Measures flow (pulsatile)

• Determines HR and MAP

• By formula, calculatesSBP and DBP

• Subject to same interferences as auscultated BP

• Important to confirm HR (if wrong, SBP and DBP wrong)

Page 27: Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP Senior Staff RN – Cardiothoracic Surgical ICUs Albany Medical College – Albany, New York Chair – Resuscitation Committee.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

• A clinical parameter useful in assessing perfusion

• Represents the average pressure within the arterial system throughout the cardiac cycle

• MAP = 2 (diastolic) + systolic

3

• 2/3 time in diastole only when HR = 70

Case # 5 – Bad Day in OR

• 37 yo male cholecystectomy• No significant PMH, smooth induction• Shortly after incision, EtCO2 gradually declines• Manual BVM with good compliance & chest rise• ???

Circulation

The heart and lungs

are inextricably

linked together

Page 32: Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP Senior Staff RN – Cardiothoracic Surgical ICUs Albany Medical College – Albany, New York Chair – Resuscitation Committee.

Cardiac Arrest!• Little O2 delivery or consumption

• Little CO2 production or venous return

• Little O2 delivery or consumption

• Little CO2 production or venous return

Page 33: Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP Senior Staff RN – Cardiothoracic Surgical ICUs Albany Medical College – Albany, New York Chair – Resuscitation Committee.

In other words: CO2 production is largely

dependent on oxygen

consumption!

CO2 Clearance Reflects Perfusion

Case # 6 – Misplaced ETT?

• Cardiac arrest on med-surg floor• CRNA intubates without difficulty, visualizes

tube pass through cords • EtCO2 circuit connected = flatline• ???

Case # 7 – EtCO2 ≠ PaCO2

• Post CABG patient EtCO2 drops to 6

• ABG PaCO2 = 48 mmHg

•Why?

Page 37: Mike McEvoy, PhD, RN, CCRN, NRP Senior Staff RN – Cardiothoracic Surgical ICUs Albany Medical College – Albany, New York Chair – Resuscitation Committee.

Another Cause of Low EtCO2

• Profound metabolic acidosis• pH = 6.93
