    AbstractWe tested the accuracy of a low flow (50 cc/min) sidestream capnography system equipped with an experimental 30-foot nasal cannula to monitor ventilatory status in children. End-tidal CO2 and respiratory rate, both at room air and in the presence of supplemental oxygen, were recorded simultaneously from the experimental 30-foot nasal cannula and the standard, FDA approved, 10-foot nasal cannula. The 30-foot nasal cannula was as accurate as the 10-foot nasal cannula in measuring respiratory rate and end-tidal CO2 in children. When supplemental oxygen was delivered by face-mask, there was no dilutional effect on the respiratory rate or end-tidal CO2 recorded with either the 10-foot or 30-foot nasal cannulas in place.
