Long‐term tolerability of capnography and respiratory inductance plethysmography for respiratory monitoring in pediatric patients treated with patient‐controlled analgesia
ConclusionChildren did not tolerate wearing capnography cannulae for prolonged periods of time, limiting the usefulness of this device as a continuous monitor of ventilation in children. RIP bands were better tolerated; however, they require further assessment of their utility. Until more effective, child‐friendly monitors are developed and their utility is validated, guidelines recommended for adult patients cannot be extended to children.
