Abstract
Capnography is an underappreciated tool in the Emergency Department. Continuous monitoring of a patient’s CO2 output provides insights into their ventilatory, perfusion, and metabolic status at the bedside. Since it is a continuous process, capnography can often warn of dangerous conditions, especially deteriorations, seconds to minutes before other modalities. This article briefly reviews the physiology behind CO2 production, how capnography monitors work, and what they tell us. Key waveforms are reviewed, with emphasis on those that may impact immediate patient care decisions. The remainder of the article briefly discusses various clinical presentations and how the associated capnography measurements, along with patient history and other diagnostic tools, can provide early notice of life-threatening conditions or deterioration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
