Respiratory distress A patient enters the emergency department in
respiratory compromise. The team is monitoring
the patient using capnography and identifies that
ETCO2 levels are initially 33 mmHg and later 40
mmHg. From these readings, the team identifies
that the patient is progressing in what stage of
respiratory compromise?

of 55 mmHg and an arterial oxygen saturation
