Capnography

In this course, we will be reviewing basic capnography interpretation and using that to build into the advanced skills. Dr. Loner will review best practices in capnography, techniques that has worked over the years for her as an emergency physician, and troubleshooting steps if your capnography is not working. Lastly, we will go over case reviews to help solidify the newly learned information.
