According to the guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council published in 2021, in an adult patient during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, capnography is used for the following purposes:
1) blood oxygenation assessment.
2) ruling out CO poisoning.
3) making a decision to start CPR.
4) monitoring the quality of CPR that is being performed.
5) confirmation of the endotracheal tube position.
The correct answer is:
2) ruling out CO poisoning.
3) making a decision to start CPR.
4) monitoring the quality of CPR that is being performed.

- B. 1,2.
- C. only 3.
- D. 2,3.
- E. 1,2,5.
