CAPNOGRAPHY METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSIS OF PATIENT CONDITION

摘要

An improved medical capnography method automatically determines the effect of therapy on the underlying patient. The method enables the determination of proper endotracheal tube or advanced airway placement, the effectiveness of CPR, and the occurrence of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or loss of spontaneous circulation by use of a therapy analyzer (36) implementing an analyze therapy algorithm (336). The method may be implemented in platform-independent hardware or software.
