The Physio-Control Smart CapnoLine Plus without O2 provides an immediate assessment of and continuous feedback on a patient's ventilatory status during emergency response. This CapnoLine can also detect airway obstruction and other ventilation problems.Microstream Capnography easily switches from intubated to non-intubated use, with no zeroing, no individual patient calibration or reconfiguration required.
Smart CapnoLine Plus without O2 Features:
Patented Uni-junction design assures oral and nasal sampling even at low tidal volumes, with minimal dilution of the CO2 waveform Built in water-trap with hydrophobic filter prevents moisture from entering the monitor while maintaining the laminar flow and excellent waveform The filter design and small diameter of the circuit (1.0 mm I.D. microbore tubing) improve accuracy and response time Ideal under masks for accurate CO2 monitoring during, CPAP, bi-level device or NPVV and high flow rate O2 delivery therapy For adult and pediatric patients Reasons for adopting Microstream Capnography in Emergency Transport and Care
The 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for CPR and ECC recommend the use of continuous waveform capnography to confirm endotracheal tube placement, determine the quality of CPR and detect Return of Spontaneous Circulation, as well as guide CPR therapy for Pediatric Advanced Life Support Capnography is useful in titration of CO2 levels in ICP scenarios Capnography is also useful in determining the ventilatory status of patients with asthma3 or COPD Capnography determines the ventilatory status of seizing patients Capnography identifies patients in Diabetic Ketoacidosis
