Chapter 6 – Operation Summary
Setting Fresh-gas Flow
WARNING
Risk of patient injury.
Because of high inspiratory CO
2 levels,
derived numerical expiratory CO
2 measure-
ment values will fluctuate greatly (up to 1 or
2 Vol.%) as compared to "normal" values
when the CO
2 Module is not in use.
The user must exercise increased attentive-
ness by monitoring the CO
2 waveform.
CAUTION
Risk of elevated levels of CO2 doses.
If a fully filled absorber or a CLIC absorber is
used, the inspiratory CO
2 concentration may
automatically rise during a case as increasingly
more soda lime becomes inactive in the upper
area of the absorber canister. Inactive soda lime
will remove less CO
2 from the fresh-gas flow.
When administering CO
2, Dräger recommends
using a refillable absorber (not a CLIC absorber)
only filled halfway. In this way:
– The inspiratory CO2 concentration can more
easily be kept constant;
– CO
2 gas will be saved;
– Soda lime will be saved.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury.
If applying inspiratory CO
2 concentrations, the
soda lime will be exhausted more quickly; inspira-
tory CO
2 concentrations may increase drastically.
Pay special attention to the state of the soda lime
when operating with inspiratory CO
2 concentra-
tions.
