Monitoring
15.1 Overview
The monitor is able to measure the CO
2
pressure of the patient airway, and displays the CO
2
waveform in the waveforms area of the monitor screen. The CO
2
parameter window shows the
following parameters:
End-tidal CO2 concentration (EtCO2)
Inspired Minimum CO2 (InsCO2)
Air Way Respiration Rate (AwRR)

Waveform and Parameters
1. CO2 label: This option allows you to access the CO2 SETUP menu.
2. Pressure unit: mmHg or kPa.
3. EtCO2: The measured value of EtCO2.
4. InsCO2: The measured value of InsCO2.
5. AwRR: The measured value of AwRR.
Adverse effects on stated perfomance may occur as a result of the following:
Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas;
Mechanical shock;
Cyclic pressure up to 10 kPa (100 cmH2O);
Other sources of interference, if any.
NOTE
z CO2 and CO2 are used interchangeably in this chapter.
z The sidestream and microstream CO
2
module is equipped with automatic
barometric pressure compensation.
