Car at highway speed loses control in a rain storm and hits a tree. 4 passengers in the car. 1 was ejected.
3 restrained passengers are considered stable. Johnny, 10 year old male, is found unresponsive with agonal respirations at the scene. He is intubated with a size 5 ET and the tube is secured 15 cm at the lip.
0715 –
Patient arrives to local ED intubated, with a C-collar in place, and obvious head, chest and femur injuries.

Johnny ET tube placement is confirmed by the trauma surgeon and placed on the ventilator. ED physician orders an emergent CT-Scan of the head, chest, and pelvis.
Pt. is manually ventilated to CT.
Seven minutes after moving the patient to the CT table the monitor is alarming.

JohnnyJohnny is emergently reintubated. Person performing the intubation takes a long time due to crowding and lack of room.
After intubating assessment reveals:
•5 ET, placed 15 cm @ lip•Poor breath sounds•HR and SpO2 decreasing•Air is heard in the stomach•Pt. vomits before ET is removed
Pt. reintubated. Placement confirmed by auscultation. Suctioning gastric contents from the ET.

Resuscitative efforts stopped after 45 minutes of CPR and 15 minutes of asystole.
Patient is stiff and cold. Skin color is purple.
What could have been the cause of this arrest? Is there anything we could have done better to improve outcome?

Capnography Basics

Resuscitation Trends: EtCO2
Timeline:
• Developed in 1960’s• Used by Anesthesia since 1970’s• Standard of Care in OR 1991
![Page 12: CC - EtCO2 and Waveform Capnography](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/58edc2171a28ab9e6a8b45f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EtCO2 Technology
• Capnographs utilize infrared (IR) technology– CO2 molecules absorb IR light energy of a
specific wavelength– Amount of energy absorbed = CO2 concentration
• Infrared is particularly appropriate for measuring CO2
– CO2 has a strong absorption band in the infrared spectrum
– In the ICU, the CO2 band is distinct enough from other gases to minimize interference

Intubation
Advantages:• Evaluate EtCO2 waveforms• Analyze reading of exhaled CO2• Monitor for tube placement and early deterioration• Reassess for improvements after treatments

Values
In healthy lungs the normal PaCO2 to ETCO2 gradient is 2-5 mmHg
In diseased lungs, the gradient will increase due to ventilation/perfusion mismatch, as much as 25 mmHg.

Being a therapist trained in capnography you alert the doctor do the difference of the EtCO2 to the actual PCO2. You explain that it is most likely not a problem with the machine but a clinical problem with the patient. You suggest he be evaluated for a Pulmonary Embolus since he was a trauma patient.
Pt. is returned to CT for a repeat chest scan with contrast. Massive PE found.
0945 – trauma doctor notified and pt. taken to surgery immediately to remove the clot.

Pt. returned to the ICU following removal of pulmonary embolus and repair of his femur.
Pt. is extubated after 2 days of mechanical ventilation.
Pt. continues to improve and is discharged home in 10 days.
Johnny’s uncle is a wealthy business man and purchased 12 EtCO2 monitors for the hospital 6 months later.

54 year-old male, Howard Snitzer, collapses after complaining of chest pain. Bystanders call 911 and initiate CPR.

Flight team lands on the scene. Find the patient to be in ventricular fibrillation. Flight crew perform immediate defibrillation and continue CPR.

Case of Howard Snitzer
• Despite continued CPR, defibrillations, and doses of epinepherine/amiodarone Mr. Snitzer remains in pulseless arrest.

• Medflight nurse reports progress to local ED physician. ED physician tells the nurse to stop CPR efforts since the patient has been pulseless for 30 minutes.
