Abstract

Abstract : Variations in the alveolar plateau phase of the capnogram are often confused with spontaneous breathing efforts in an intubated patient. The oscillations in the capnogram due to a large ascending thoracic aneurysm are a separate entity from cardiogenic oscillations, and can be an indicator of underlying bronchial or lung compression.
