    AbstractThe use of capnography is recommended during resuscitation. By implementing the mnemonic "PQRST", rescuers have a ready-made checklist to help them achieve the full potential of capnography. This approach can facilitate efforts to both reduce the hands-off time and individualize the treatment, which can lead to improved survival for our patients.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
