We've only recently gained a capnograph which is great and they are amazing bits of kit but it's true that you really need to understand what you're using! I really struggle to fully understand what everything is telling me and most times just rely on what i can see from my patient, i feel like i don't really make use of what i have!

I'd love to fully understand it!

I agree, capnograph is invaluable and can tell you so much! :) Worth the £££! But as ^^^^ You cant replace a nurse ;)

I also agree capnograph Although do you have a Doppler you can use for blood pressure? This is also really valuable! Our boss has just bought us the cardell touch monitor and is a really good price it's by Henry Schein!

I do not get a lot of comfort from our pulse ox, bizarre sudden inaccurate readings. Would love a capnograph!!

My favourite piece of equipment is a capnograph. As well as providing lots of information about your patients ventilation status it allows you to be a bit more economical with your fresh gas flows.
