Capnometry in Pre-hospital Emergency Care – a Luxury or Gold Standard?
Kapnometrie v PNP – luxus nebo zlatý standard?
Článek se zabývá možným využitím kapnometrie, popř. kapnografie v terénní praxi záchranných služeb. Jsou vyčísleny výhody i nevýhodyjednotlivých technologií měření, které mohou mít vliv na interpretaci výsledků. Tu může ovlivnit i nestabilita životních funkcí v počátečních fázíchošetřování kritického stavu. Mezi nezpochybnitelné indikace užití kapnometru patří monitorování ventilovaných pacientů, ověření správné polohyendotracheální rourky. K ostatním indikacím patří ověření účinnosti prováděné kardiopulmonální resuscitace, diagnostika plicní embolie, sledováníspontánně ventilujících pacientů.
Klíčová slova:

Overview
This review discusses a possible role for capnometry or capnography in a daily practice of pre-hospital emergency care. Advantages anddisadvantages of different technologies are outlined with their possibilities to affect the interpretation of results. The interpretation can be affectedalso by instability of vital functions in the early phase of care for the critically ill. Ther e are undisputable absolute indications for the use of capnometer:monitoring of mechanically ventilated patients, verification of proper endotracheal tube placement; other indications for capnometry can be seen inthe assessment of effectivity of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, pulmonary embolism diagnosis, monitoring of spontaneously breathing patients.
Key words:
capnometry – ventilation – CPR – diagnostics
