Patient Spirometry
There are three keys on the compact airway modules E-CAiOV, E-CAiOVX, E-COV,
E-COVX:
Save Loop
Saves the currently active loop with corresponding numeric
data.
Print Loop Prints the current pressure-volume (Paw-Vol) or flow-volume
(Flow-Vol) loop with corresponding numeric data.
Change Loop Toggles between a Paw-Vol and a Flow-Vol loop.
Preparing the Patient Spirometry measurement
1. Take a new Patient Spirometry tube and connect the tube to the D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+)
sensor by inserting the angle connectors in the sensor connectors. Place all
D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) ports upwards with approximately a 45 °C tilt to prevent
condensed water from entering the sensor interior and the tubings.
2. Connect the other end of the Patient Spirometry tube to the pressure connectors
on the module.
3. Connect a gas sampling line to the Luer connector on the other side of the
D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) sensor.
4. Connect the other end of the gas sampling line to the sampling line connector on
the module’s water trap.
5. Make sure that the connections are tight.
6. Select the correct sensor type.
7. Connect the D-lite(+)/Pedi-lite(+) between the Y-piece and the intubation tube
in the breathing circuit.
Checking the Patient Spirometry measurement
1. Check that the water trap is empty.
2. Occlude the sampling line and check that the Sample line blocked message
appears within 30 seconds and gas waveforms are showing zero at the same time.
3. Check that the loops are whole. A gap between the starting and ending points
may indicate a leak.
Using the Patient Spirometry measurement
Selecting the Patient Spirometry sensor type
When monitoring pediatric patients with tidal volumes of 15 ml to 300 ml, use the
Pedi-lite/Pedi-lite+ sensor. For other patients, use the D-lite/D-lite+ sensor. Select the
sensor type accordingly.
1. Select the Patient Spirometry parameter window.
2. Select Setup .
3. Select the sensor type ( Pediatric or Adult ) from the Sensor Type list.
