RetoocsCapnometry vs. Acoustic
Is anyone using Massimo's new acoustic technology to monitor patients using PCA pumps?
Are there advantages over capnometry?

Respiratory WikiThis limited study conducted by Massimo states that both accustic technology and capnography showed similar results for patient RR.
