Chapter 8: NomoLine Capnography
Overview
Note: This feature is optional on Rad-97 devices.
NomoLine capnography is available as an optional built-in addition to Rad-97, allowing
monitoring of CO
2,
EtCO
2
, FiCO
2
, and RR. NomoLine capnography computes and analyzes the
parameters based on the samples gathered from the patient's breathing circuit, via the
NomoLine sampling line.
NomoLine
NomoLine capnography samples gas from the breathing circuit through the NomoLine
sampling line, which is connected to the patient cannula or the intubated patient. NomoLine
sampling lines incorporate a unique water separation section which removes condensed
water. NomoLine is also fitted with a bacteria filter that protects the gas analyzer from water
intrusion and cross contamination.
When a sampling line is connected, the NomoLine capnography gas analyzer switches to
measuring mode and starts delivering gas data.
NomoLine sampling lines are available in a wide variety of versions for both intubated and
spontaneously-breathing patients, in both disposable and re-sposable configurations.
Intubated patients, for example, can be monitored using the disposable NomoLine Airway
Adapter Set or a combination of the multiple-patient-use NomoLine Adapter and a
disposable NomoLine Extension T-adapter. Spontaneously breathing patients can similarly
be monitored using a disposable NomoLine Nasal CO
2
Cannula or a combination of the
multiple-patient-use NomoLine Adapter and a disposable NomoLine Nasal CO
2
Cannula with
Luer Connector.
