Anesthesia Gas Monitoring
18-2
18.1 Overview
The anesthesia gas (AG) monitoring can be used for measuring the anesthesia gas
and respiration gas of the patient in the anesthetic status. This monitor can configure
AION 02 AG module or AION 03 AG module. AG module provides the end-tidal
numerics and inhaling numerics of the gases mentioned below.
„ Carbon dioxide (CO
2
): The measured numeric is EtCO
2
(Max. exhaling value:
Max. exhaling numeric detected during the respiration).
„
Nitrous oxide (N
2
O): Laughing gas.
„ Oxygen (O
2
): Optional function.
„ Anesthetic (AA): Refers to the monitored anesthetic (DES, ISO, ENF, SEV or
HAL).
„ Airway respiration rate (AwRR): respiration per minute (BrPM).
The patient monitor can display simultaneously a maximum of 4 waveforms,
including the CO
2
waveform (default waveform), N
2
O waveform, O
2
waveform and
the anesthetic (ENF: Enflurane) waveform.

In addition, the patient monitor can display parameters, including CO
2
, N
2
O, O
2
and
AA (Which refers to the monitored anesthetic: DES, ISO, ENF, SEV or HAL). It
also displays the inhaling and exhaling numerics as well as MAC (Minimum
Alveolar Concentration)/MAL (balance gas) and AwRR.
When the O
2
module is not connected, no O
2
waveform will be displayed.
After the O
2
module is connected, whether the O
2
waveform is displayed depends on
