Abstract:

Cardiac arrest is one of the most common and critical diseases in the emergency department,and it is also an important health problem of public concern. If not treated in time,it will cause serious damage to the tissues and functional organs of human,and even threaten the lives of patients. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation,as an important treatment method for cardiac arrest,is the key to save patients’ lives,but the success rate of resuscitation is generally low at this stage. In order to improve the success rate of treatment of patients with cardiac arrest,high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and effective index monitoring in the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to guide the quality of resuscitation were proposed. This article reviews the monitoring principle and waveform interpretation of the partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2),the application guidance value in cardiopulmonary resuscitation,and the factors affecting PETCO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation,in order to provide reference for the application of PETCO2 monitoring in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
