Patient monitoring

WARNING When the monitor is not conected to a secondary alarm

system during continuous monitoring, check the monitor regularly to

receive patient data, alarms, and alerts.

Capnography (CO2)

Monitors configured with Oridion Microstream® capnography continuously measure or

indicate the following:

• End-tidal CO2 (etCO2): the level of CO2 in a patient's exhaled breath

• Fraction of inspired CO2 (FiCO2): the level of CO2 in a patient's inhaled breath

• Respiration rate (RR)

• Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI): a numerical value that integrates four parameters

(CO2, respiration rate, SpO2, and pulse rate) and indicates a patient's overall

respiratory status

Note Monitors configured with Oridion Microstream capnography cannot be

configured with Acoustic Respiration (RRa).

etCO2 frame

The etCO2 frame displays data and controls used in monitoring the level of CO2 in a

patient's breath (etCO2 and FiCO2). Controls to pause or restart the CO2 pump as well

as to pause CO2 alarms also appear in the frame.

Note CO2 monitoring is available only with the Continuous Monitoring profile.

The frame provides a numeric view and a waveform view of CO2 data. You can toggle

between views by touching the left side of the frame.

etCO2 numeric view

The numeric view displays end-tidal CO2 (etCO2) and fraction of inspired CO2 (FiCO2) in

mmHg or kPa. The size of the etCO2 frame and displayed measurements varies based

on your configuration.
