1 -- Capnography indicates the presence of carbon dioxide and is used to assist in determining an endotracheal tube is correctly placed following intubation. The patients with circumoral cyanosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease would at least require pulse oximetry. The patient with an inhalation injury requires an arterial blood gas.
