Perform Sidestream CO
2
Monitoring
The capnography (CO
2
) option measures End-tidal CO
2
(ETCO
2
), Inspired CO
2
(INCO
2
), Breath Rate,
and Apnea. Patients using Sidestream CO
2
can either be intubated or non-intubated using a CO
2
Sampling cannula or a combination CO
2
Sampling/Oxygen Delivery nasal cannula. The Sidestream
CO
2
option requires the SpO
2
option.
Warning
Do not use Sidestream CO
2
if flammable anesthetic gases are in use.
If the Sidestream CO
2
option is connected to a ventilatory circuit, be sure to adjust appropriate ventilator or
anesthesia system settings to compensate for the sampling flow volume (90 or 175 ml/min) that is aspirated from the
ventilatory circuit by the Sidestream CO
2
option.
Avoid exposing a Propaq CS monitor with the Sidestream CO
2
option to non-patient sources of CO
2
such as
vehicle engine exhaust or smoke. When such exposure is possible, avoid opening the printer door. Exposure to these
CO
2
sources can temporarily trap CO
2
within the monitor, even when monitor power is off. This can temporarily cause
an erroneous elevated CO
2
measurement baseline until the trapped CO
2
leaks out and the baseline returns to zero
(which can require as long as 3-24 hours).
For best product performance and measurement accuracy, use only accessories supplied by Protocol
Systems or recommended in the Protocol Systems Products and Accessories booklet. Use accessories according to
your facility’s standards and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Always refer to the manufacturer’s Directions for
Use for instructions about operation, cleaning, and replacement.
Note
The Sidestream CO
2
operating temperature range is 5° to 40°C. This is different than the range of 0° to 40°C for other
Propaq CS monitor functions. CO
2
monitoring outside the specified range can cause inaccurate CO
2
measurements.
• When monitoring a small child with a rapid respiratory rate, Mainstream CO
2
can provide a more
accurate representation of the expired CO
2
waveform than Sidestream CO
2
.
• Breath rates greater than 50 breaths/minute may reduce the reported ETCO2 values. Select the 175
ml/min flow rate to minimize errors at higher breath rates.
• The 175 ml/min flow rate is recommended for intubated adult patients.
1.
Firmly insert the Sidestream CO
2
watertrap into the
Sidestream CO
2
connector on the monitor left side
panel.
Warning
The watertrap is disposable and should only be used for a
single patient. Do not reuse the watertrap for another patient.
2.
See page 48 and set up the CO
2
display and alarm
limits, then continue this procedure with step 3.
