This research pilot study evaluates the usefulness of capnography for patients being weaned from mechanical ventilation in a medical intensive care unit (MICU). The hypothesis that capnography would allow for more rapid weaning from mechanical ventilation, and require fewer arterial blood gases (ABGs) during the process, was found to be untrue. Several implications for critical care nursing practices were derived from the literature review and findings of this study.
这项研究试点评估了在医疗重症监护病房（MICU）中，二氧化碳监测图对正在撤机的患者的有效性。二氧化碳监测图能够实现更快速撤机且在此过程中需要更少动脉血气分析（ABG）的假设被证明是不成立的。本研究的文献综述和研究结果得出了对重症护理实践的若干启示。
