5. Inspect that all connections have been made correctly by
verifying the presence of a proper CO
2
waveform (capno-
gram) on the Cockpit display. Monitor the capnogram for
higher-than-expected CO
2
levels. If CO
2
levels are higher
than expected, verify the patient’s condition first. If you
determine that the patient’s condition is not contributing,
then calibrate the sensor.
6. The sensor cable must face away from the patient. Safely
secure the sensor cable out of the way, to do so, attach the
sensor cable holding clips to the airway tubing, and then
connect the sensor cable to the clips.
7. To remove the sensor cable, pull back on the connector
sheath to disengage from the CO
2
module connector
(Figure 3-2).
