Apneas per Hour and the Oxygen Desaturation

Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)

Smart A/hr and ODI Home Screen Display
Introduction
The Apneas per Hour (A/hr) and Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) algorithm is part of the Smart Capnography
family of innovative algorithms developed by Oridion. Smart Capnography simplifies the use of CO

monitoring on Microstream
®
enabled products, to improve patient safety and clinical workflow.
A/hr and ODI are not available in all locations. In order to equip your device with these algorithms, contact
A/hr and ODI provide an easy way to help with the identification and quantification of apnea and oxygen
desaturation events during a patient’s hospital stay.
A/hr and ODI report apnea and oxygen desaturation events and calculates the associated Apnea per Hour (A/hr)
and Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI). By using A/hr and ODI, clinicians are able to recognize ventilation and
oxygenation abnormalities while patients are being monitored during their hospital stay with Capnostream. A/hr
and ODI are for adult patients only (age 22 and older).
A/hr and ODI are displayed in real time on the home screen and on an easy-to-read Apnea and O

Desat Report
screen, which is available for printed reports and in file format exported to a USB flash drive.
Apneas per Hour
An apnea is a period of time during which breathing stops or is greatly reduced. The Apnea per Hour (A/hr)
calculated by the Capnostream monitor as seen on the Home screen provides a count of the number of pauses of
at least 10 seconds in breathing the patient experienced over the past hour.
On the Apnea and O2 Desat Report screen, A/hr is the average Apneas per Hour over the selected time period
of 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. On that screen, the number of apnea events of
≥10 seconds; 10-19 seconds;
20-30 seconds; and >30 seconds over the selected time period are also shown.
This A/hr value is used to help indicate to the caregiver the regularity of the patient’s breathing.
The Capnostream Apneas per Hour
In the Capnostream device, apnea per hour is a count of the number of times in an hour that breathing ceased for
ten seconds or more. Since this is a per-hour count, dashed lines will appear on the screen until one hour has
commenced since the beginning of monitoring.
A/hr is currently available for adult patients only and is intended for patients age 22 and older. It is not available
for infants (age 0-1) or for patients under age 22.
