I beleive the effects of Klonopin are similar to other benzodiazepines.

ETCO2 helps in chidlren in any many ways, we can pickup hypoventilation in the absence of other evidence on PSG. For example UARS might be suggesed with inceased CO2. Also, chidlren with chronic lung disease may have an elevated CO2,suggesting inadequate treament of the underlying disease. Intiially, when the sstandards for chidlren were suggested, they were all done with CO2.

I wish there were a lot of Peds. on the test, since that is all I do.
