Abstract

“Time capnography” is the continuous plot of levels of expired carbon dioxide over time producing a capnographic waveform. It is the analysis of such waveforms that forms the basis of this study. The normal capnogram has an almost square-wave pattern which consists of: 1) a latency phase (Phase I), corresponding to the expiration of the anatomical dead space; 2) slope phase (Phase II) corresponding to expiration of mixed air; and 3) plateau phase (Phase III), reflecting the elimination of alveolar air.
