Airway gas (CO2)
17-1
17 Airway gas (CO2)
Overview
With the N-FC and N-FCREC modules, you can measure and monitor the gases being delivered
to the patient and exhaled by the patient.
The modules are equipped with a water separation system and they measure only CO
2
.
Respiration rate is the frequency of peak (end tidal) CO
2
measurements per minute. A breath is
defined as a change in the CO
2
signal which exceeds 1% (8 mmHg). All concentrations are
measured and displayed breath by breath.
Module description
The airway gas measurement is housed in the N-FC and N-FCREC modules.
You can connect and disconnect airway modules like any other modules.
