Capnography is the monitoring of the concentration or partial pressure of carbon dioxide ({chem|CO|2}) in the respiratory gases. Its main development has been as a monitoring tool for use during anesthesia and intensive care. It is usually presented as a graph of expiratory {chem|CO|2} plotted against time, or, less commonly, but more usefully, ex...
