The Capnography Field Guide

The only guide you'll ever need to understand your capnograph

Concise and Effective

We’ve distilled 30 years of anaesthetic monitoring experience into one book. Designed to help medical professionals better understand the process of capnography and the science behind the monitors, it will show you how to use your capnograph to it’s full potential.

The Capnography Field Guide explains the full process of capnography – why we do it, how it works, how your capnograph works and how to understand readings better.

The second half of the book contains a series of flash cards detailing waveform patterns which may occur during procedures. Our flash cards tell you potential causes indicated, how to diagnose what’s going on, and how to solve the problem.

More than just a book

Additional Online Resources

The Capnography Field Guide connects with lots of online resources through our Capnography Resource Centre. Animated waveform diagrams, demonstrations of monitors, and much more.

Designed for Theatres

This book is waterproof, greaseproof, tearproof and chemical resistant.

It doesn’t matter if you spill something on it, or drop it in the sink, or accidentally send it through the washing machine in your scrubs pocket – it can survive almost any mishap!

We’ve designed the book to fit perfectly in scrubs pockets or to be stored with your capnograph, so it’s never far away when you need it.

Emeritus Professor at Newcastle University & Anaesthesia Specialist

“I like the guide, it brings together key information on pulmonary physiology, relies it to capnography, and then gives some very clear examples of the different waveforms. It would have been useful to have sitting with the capnographs at Newcastle University!”

Dr. Alex Dugdale

MA, Vet MB, PhD, DLAS, DECVAA, DECLAM (HON) FIAT, FRSB, FRCVS (HON)

Anaesthesia Specialist & Co-author of "Veterinary Anaesthesia: Principles to Practice"

“I love this little book. Thoughtfully produced in vet-resistant (yet recyclable) materials and accompanied by an online library of animated waveforms! I’ve not shown my nurses yet… I’m not sure I’ll get it back afterwards!”

Green Manufacturing

This book is made out of recycled materials – and can be completely recycled when disposed of.

We’re passionate about the environment and we put that passion into everything that we do. Even though the paper is treated to keep it waterproof, greaseproof and chemical resistant, we’ve made sure that it won’t last forever in our ecosystem.
