Core Tip	Apnea monitoring is a useful adjunct in assessing the ventilatory status of patients undergoing sedation. Capnography is too expensive to be used during normal endoscopic procedures. A newly developed respiratory rate-monitoring device based on the humidity of expired air enables the real-time assessment of ventilation. Compared with pulse oximetry alone, this new monitoring device detected more respiratory events and may provide earlier warning of impending respiratory abnormalities.
