Capnography

Simulation and patient safety related activities have been the main focus of Dr Gravenstein's work for the last 20 years, which includes many publications, among them texts on Capnography. He has received numerous national and international honours. Received Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1994. Prior to joining Novametrix, he had been employed since 1981 in the respiratory field, working for such companies as Beckman Instruments and Sensormedics. He is currently serving on international standards committees relating to anesthesia and respiratory equipment. David Paulus is Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Florida. Trained initially as an engineer, he concentrates on anesthesia safety and monitoring issues. He is medical director of the operating room and home care for Shands at U.F., the teaching hospital at the University of Florida.
