Microstream® Capnography in Endobronchial Ultrasonography Applications Under Sedation

Purpose: Researchers wanted to investigate the effect of capnography monitoring in addition to routine monitoring on the development of desaturation and other vital parameters in endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) cases.Method: 100 patients who underwent EBUS under sedation will be included in this prospective and randomized controlled study. The cases will be divided into two groups of 50 people each. In the first group, standard monitoring will be performed, and in the second group, in addition to standard monitoring, capnography monitoring will be used. Heart rate, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) values in both groups, end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), respiratory rate and integrated pulmonary index (IPI) values in the second group will be recorded in all cases. Disturbances in vital parameters and airway interventions, which were common in both groups, will ve compared. The frequency of problems detected by capnography monitoring in the second group will be examined.
