Hey folks, Scott Wangert here, and this is the M-Crit podcast.

Today, we're talking about cardiac arrest, and specifically, we're talking about monitoring

during cardiac arrest, and the vast majority of this episode will be on entitled CO2.

And I'm bringing back the maven of all things monitoring during cardiac arrest.

He's doing his PhD thesis on the topic, and I'll let's see how my pronunciation is

on this name, because I've been working on it hard.

Let's try that one more time.

Yeah, I think I'm getting it.

So, PO, as I call him, actually has been on once before we talked about how we're totally

screwing up monitoring art lines during cardiac arrest.

Now, that's kind of niche for a lot of you out there.

You're not doing art lines during cardiac arrest.

This one on entitled CO2, you all should be doing during cardiac arrest.

So, it's directly applicable, super important.

You'll see some of the nuances.

The other thing is we're going to be discussing a paper that's linked in the show notes to this episode.

But what's key is that we're going to be discussing the entitled CO2 waveforms in the course of cardiac arrest,

and as they differ from patients with a different degrees of thoracic distension.

Like a picture is worth a thousand words in this vein.

You really want to just click on over to the episode for two seconds and just look at the pictures I have there.

But I'm going to describe them briefly just as a lead-in, because I think it'll contextualize everything that PO talks about.

But normal entitled CO2 pattern that you're all used to is, you know, there's like a half second inspiration during which the entitled is reading zero.
