title: [Techniques and clinical application of capnography in newborn infants and infants].
abstract: Capnography has not yet achieved wide application as a noninvasive method for monitoring and optimizing assisted ventilation in neonatological intensive care medicine. The development of new equipment will probably make it possible for capnography to find its place as a routine examination. The aim of this work is to evaluate the existing methods for CO2-analysis in newborns and infants using data from existing literature. A mainstream capnograph (Novametrix 7000) was used to demonstrate typical capnographic curves in newborns and prematurely born children. The results offer new possibilities for the optimization of assisted ventilation.
