In the cathlab several diagnostic and interventional procedures are performed. In fact, more and more complex procedures are performed everyday using these minimally invasive approaches, with improved outcomes for patients. However, pain, fear and anxiety still need to be managed in order for patients to tolerate these procedures. In this episode, Andreia Trigo, Martin Lees and Craig Cook talk about sedation and capnography, how it allows patients to tolerate these procedures comfortably and how to introduce it to the cath lab.
