7 Description of the modes
CO
2
monitoring is used for the sidestream CO
2
measurement
during oxygen inhalation or bag mask ventilation
(see "4.7.8 Performing CO
2
monitoring (only with Capnography
option)", page 77). To use the CO
2
measurement during oxygen
inhalation, you require an interface with a male Luer lock
connector for CO
2
measurement (see "4.4.7 Connecting the
etCO
2
/O
2
nasal cannula", page 62). To use the CO
2
measurement
during bag mask ventilation, connect the device's CO
2
measuring
tube to, for example, a breathing system filter or a bag-valve mask.
In CO
2
monitoring mode, a CO
2
curve (Capnography option) and
an etCO
2
trend are displayed. In order to display the trend, the
mean value of the etCO
2
is determined every minute and displayed
in a diagram, whereby the time axis of the trend can be set by the
user in the user menu (see "5.3.6 etCO
2
trend (only with
Capnography option)", page 115).
The CO
2
unit can be selected in the operator menu under the
menu item Device configuration (see "6.3.7 Device
configuration", page 129).
