The following methods are used
to calculate end-tidal (ET) values
The highest concentration of
CO
2
during one breathing cycle
with a weight function applied
to favor values closer to the end
of the cycle. EtCO
2
within
specification for all respiratory
rates up to 150 bpm.
ET will typically decrease below
nominal value when respiration
rate exceeds 80 bpm The
maximum decrease is described
by the formula
ET=80*ETnom/RR.
EtCO
2
will be within
specification for all respiration
rates up to 150 bpm
The following methods are used to calculate end-
tidal (ET) values:
The highest concentration of CO
2
during one
breathing cycle with a weight function applied to
favor values closer to the end of the cycle. EtCO
2
within specification for all respiratory rates up to
150 bpm.
ET will typically decrease below nominal values
(ETnom) when respiratory rate (RR) exceeds the
RR threshold (RRth) according to the following
formulas:
ET=ETnom*(125/RR) for RRth>125
