Patient Spirometry measurement basics
Patient Spirometry measurement description
The CARESCAPE respiratory modules E-sCOV and E-sCAiOV, and the compact airway
modules E-COV, E-COVX, E-CAiOV, and E-CAiOVX measure airway pressures, flow,
volumes, compliance and airway resistance breath by breath at the patient's airway.
All parameters are measured through D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) flow sensor placed at the
patient's airway.
