This Guide is intended for quick reference only. It is strongly recommended that clinicians new to capnography also
refer to published educational literature on this subject.
All waveform illustrations in this guide apply to both Mainstream CO
2
and Sidestream CO
2
with intubated patients.
Mainstream CO
2
waveforms tend to be slightly more defined, especially on the upstroke, plateau, downstroke;
Sidestream CO
2
waveforms are more rounded.
