- Typical capnographic tracing in a small infant. Note the lack of a plateau.
- The side-stream capnography tubing is switched from a proximal to a more distal location closer to the patient.
- When the side-stream capnography tubing is closer to the tracheal tube, the truer, higher level of PETCO2 is revealed. The capnograph now appears to have a more pronounced plateau.
