Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Capnography (Continuous recording of the carbon dioxide content of expired air)as an alternative test to measure PC02 levels in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD,interstitial lung disease(ILD)or coronary disease who are at risk of intubation.

Description:

This is a prospective study to evaluate the usefulness of capnography as a non-invasive, accurate method of measuring of PC02 levels in medical intensive care unit patients with asthma, COPD, ILD, or coronary disease who are at risk of intubation.
