ETCO2 monitoring

We are considering implementing ETCO2 monitoring for patients on PCAs. Please share your experiences and lessons learned, especially for the pediatric population.

What criteria do you use for initiation of ETCO2 monitoring? Any issues with carefusion ETCO2 module? Do you utilize the pause protocol? How do you communicate the RR settings to be entered?

All feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jenn
