Capnography (CO2)
Monitors configured with Oridion Microstream® capnography continuously measure or
indicate the following:
•
End-tidal CO2 (etCO2): the level of CO2 in a patient's exhaled breath
• Fraction of inspired CO2 (FiCO2): the level of CO2 in a patient's inhaled breath
• Respiration rate (RR)
• Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI): a numerical value that integrates four parameters
(etCO2, respiration rate, SpO2, and pulse rate) and indicates a patient's overall
respiratory status
Note Monitors configured with Oridion Microstream capnography cannot be
configured with Acoustic Respiration (RRa).
etCO2 frame
The etCO2 frame displays data and controls used in monitoring the level of CO2 in a
patient's breath (etCO2 and FiCO2). Controls to pause or restart the CO2 pump as well
as to pause CO2 alarms also appear in the frame.
Note CO2 monitoring is available only with the Continuous Monitoring profile.
The frame provides a numeric view and a waveform view of CO2 data. You can toggle
between views by touching the left side of the frame.
