title: End tidal carbon dioxide and respiratory rate measurement during conscious sedation through a nasal cannula.
abstract: During the administration of central nervous system depressant drugs for dentistry or surgery, it may not always be possible to continuously measure respiratory physiology. We present a simple and efficacious method of monitoring respiration during dental or surgical procedures in which a conscious sedation technique is used.
