Which elements are included in the SNORES bundle of care?

• A. SpO2, Nasal EtCO2, Oxygen, RASS, ECG, and Sugar monitoring
• B. SpO2, Blood Pressure, ECG
• C. SpO2, Nasal EtCO2, Oxygen
• D. Oxygen, Sugar monitoring only

Answer: (A)

SNORES is about watching multiple body systems so you can spot trouble early and act fast. The bundle brings together respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic monitoring in one approach. It includes SpO2 to track oxygen saturation, nasal EtCO2 to gauge ventilation and detect hypoventilation or apnea, and oxygen therapy to support oxygenation. It also includes RASS to assess level of sedation or agitation, ECG to monitor heart rhythm, and glucose monitoring to catch metabolic issues like hypo- or hyperglycemia that can affect recovery.

This combination is the best because it covers how well a patient is breathing, how their brain status is doing, how the heart is functioning, and their glucose level, all of which are critical for safe, responsive care. Other options omit key components—for example, focusing only on basic vitals or on a single system misses the need to monitor ventilation, neurological status, and metabolic health together.
