Measuring mask ventilation: capnography is better

The article addresses methods for measuring mask ventilation during anesthesia. Capnography, which measures the amount of carbon dioxide in exhaled air, has proven to be a superior method for assessing the effectiveness of patient ventilation through a mask compared to other available methods. This technique allows anesthesiologists to more accurately monitor ventilation quality and detect potential problems in real time. Capnography provides objective data in real time, which is important for patient safety during anesthesia. The use of capnography in measuring mask ventilation contributes to improved clinical practice in anesthesiology.
