Question

what is the only cpr performance monitor typically available for measuring a physiologic end - point outside of a hospital setting? choose the correct answer end - tidal carbon dioxide (etco₂) intra - arterial relaxation pressure cerebral perfusion pressure central venous oxygen saturation

Explanation:

End - tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂) monitors are portable and can be used outside of a hospital setting to measure a physiologic end - point related to CPR effectiveness by indicating the presence of exhaled carbon dioxide, which reflects cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow during CPR. Intra - arterial relaxation pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and central venous oxygen saturation typically require more invasive monitoring and hospital - based equipment.

Answer:

End - tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂)
