Patient Spirometry
Patient Spirometry points to note
●
Place an HME/HMEF/filter between the D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) sensor and the patient.
●
Disconnect the HME/HMEF/filter and D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) during nebulization of
medications.
●
The flow measurement should be calibrated once a year or when there is a
permanent difference between inspiratory and expiratory volume. For further
information, see the technical manual.
●
Using a cuffless intubation tube may affect Patient Spirometry readings due to
potential leakages around the endotracheal tube.
●
When anesthetic agents are used, use a module with anesthetic agent
identification option:
Module Use with monitor:
E-sCAiOV B850, B650, B450
E-CAiOV, E-CAiOVX
B850, B650
Patient Spirometry measurement setup
Patient Spirometry equipment to patient connection
1. E-sCOV or E-sCAiOV module. With B850 and B650 you can also use the compact
airway modules E-COV, E-COVX, E-CAiOV, or E-CAiOVX
2. Gas sample, gas sampling line connector on the water trap
3. Gas sampling and spirometry tubes
4. D-lite/Pedi-lite sensor, or D-lite+/Pedi-lite+ sensor for humid conditions
5. Gas sampling line
6. Heat and moisture exchanger with filter (HMEF) (optional)
Patient Spirometry module keys
There are two keys on the CARESCAPE respiratory modules E-sCAiOV and E-sCOV:
Save Loop
Saves the currently active loop with corresponding numeric
data.
Change Loop Toggles between a Paw-Vol and a Flow-Vol loop.
