Injured lungs are not hemogenous. Not all patients respond the same even
given the same disease process. Dynamic properties of the lung make
optimizing ventilatory parameters an ongoing process.

SummarySummary
With the information provided with volumetric capnography we were able to respond quickly to this pt’s ventilatory needs.
Were able to rule out the need to ↑ ventilatory support.
We ruled out need for additional diuretics. We could treat the pt with objective data.

ConclusionConclusion
Monitoring with volumetric capnography will most likely not change clinical practice.
What it will do is provide information that will enhance clinical practice.
Management strategies can be based on objective data.
