Display Features
etCO2 Monitoring
The etCO2 waveform displays the instantaneous CO
2 concentration. The etCO2 parameter box displays
the following parameters:
– End-tidal CO
2 (etCO2) — The level of CO2 in the airway at the end of expiration.
– Inspired CO
2 (inCO2) — The level of CO2 in the airway during the inspiration phase.
– Respiration Rate (RRc) — The patient’s respiration rate, derived from the etCO2 signal by
calculating a n average rate over the two most recent breaths.
