Capnography versus standard monitoring for emergency department procedural sedation and analgesia.

CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of convincing evidence that the addition of capnography to standard monitoring in ED PSA reduces the rate of clinically significant adverse events. Evidence was deemed to be of moderate quality due to population and outcome definition heterogeneity and limited reporting bias. Our review was limited by the small number of clinical trials in this setting. PMID: 28334427 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
