Clinical upgrade

Although the technology is much improved, there's still distrust among some. Some critics say it's, "just another fancy tool to make you treat it, not the patient." I've heard that many times before. Changing to a new way of doing things is never easy. We resist change. However, this is one of the most beneficial ways we can increase our "clinical quotient.

Capnography is a clinical upgrade that enhances your ability to assess, manage and maintain the patient's ABCs. The time for capnography is now. I've been watching it grow in the EMS field for more than a decade. I've heard of some great uses all over the world. It takes courage and support to make this change for the intubated and non-intubated patient.
