Introduction: In the healthcare industry, accurate monitoring of respiratory status is crucial for patient care and safety. Prior-care presents its innovative ETCO2 module, which offers a state-of-the-art capnography solution. With its plug-and-play feature, this module provides an easy and convenient way to incorporate capnography into any medical setting. By utilizing advanced technology to measure instantaneous end-tidal CO2 concentration and inspired CO2 concentration, this module ensures accurate results. Additionally, its patented technology enhances resistance to vapor, further improving measurement accuracy.
Application Field:
Monitoring the patient’s respiratory status:
The ETCO2 module constantly monitors a patient’s exhaled CO2 levels, offering valuable insights into their respiratory status.
It provides real-time data, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly detect any abnormalities in ventilation and make timely interventions.
Assisting in determining when to intubate or extubate:
This module aids healthcare providers in making informed decisions regarding the need for intubation or extubation.
By monitoring and analyzing CO2 levels in exhaled breath, it helps assess the patient’s ability to maintain an open airway independently.
Verification of ET tube placement:
Accurate placement of an endotracheal (ET) tube is crucial for effective ventilation and patient safety.
The ETCO2 module confirms correct tube placement by detecting the presence of exhaled CO2, ensuring that the tube is inserted into the trachea rather than the esophagus.
Alerts if accidental extubation occurs:
Accidental extubation poses a serious risk to patients, potentially leading to respiratory distress.
This module includes an alert system that promptly notifies healthcare providers if an accidental extubation occurs, allowing for immediate intervention.
Ventilator disconnect detection:
Ensuring the integrity of the ventilator-patient connection is vital for maintaining appropriate ventilation support.
The ETCO2 module continuously evaluates the CO2 levels and alerts healthcare professionals if a ventilator disconnect occurs, enabling them to promptly re-establish ventilation.
Conclusion: ETCO2 module offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring respiratory status in various healthcare settings. With its advanced technology, accuracy, and versatile applications, it proves to be an invaluable tool for healthcare professionals, leading to improved patient outcomes and enhanced patient safety.
