18.8.2 Setting Humidity Compensation
Sidestream and microstream CO
2

2
readings for either Body
Temperature and Pressure, Saturated Gas (BTPS), to account for humidity in the patient’s breath, or Ambient
Temperature and Pressure, Dry Gas (ATPD).
■ ATPD: P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x P
amb
/100
■ BTPS (sidestream): P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x (P
amb
- 47)/100
■ BTPS (microstream): P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x (1- 0.03)x P
amb
/100
Where, P
CO2
(mmHg)= partial pressure, vol%=CO
2
concentration, P
amb
=ambient pressure, and unit is mmHg.
For the sidestream and microstream CO
2
module, you can set the humidity compensation on or off according to
the actual condition.
To set the humidity compensation, follow this procedure:
1. Select the CO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the CO2 menu.
