Dräger offers a wide range of CO2 monitoring accessories
The Dräger mainstream CO2 sensors offer non-invasive measurement of etCO2 with a rapid response CO2 sensor. It uses an infrared sensor to measure carbon dioxide directly at the end of the endotracheal tube. Hence the response is faster in comparison … More information
to the sidestream measurement and the measuring misrea dings are reduced3). Dräger offers a complete portfolio of CO2 cuvettes for adults and infants. The variety of CO2 cuvettes available allows usage for different patient profiles.In intensive care, capnography is applied as a noninvasive way for evaluating a patient’s ventilator status1). It can be used to assess changes in ventilation, pulmonary perfusion and metabolism to support optimization of ventilation settings2). Obs … More information
erving the arterial or etCO2 difference respective gradient over a period of time can provide important information, related to either improved or worsening patient clinical status3) and thus support increased patient safety. Today, capnography monitoring has been increasingly used in operating rooms, intensive care units and emergency departments to indicate incorrect intubation and to monitor coardiopulmonary resuscitation effectiveness 4)5). Rapid continuous measurement of the CO2 partial pressure in the breathing gasMeasurement of etCO2Monitoring of etCO2 with upper and lower alarm limitsDetermining the CO2 production and serial dead space volumeThe disposable CO2 cuvette completes the portfolio of disposable ventilation accessories for Dräger intensive care ventilators. Simply dispose the used cuvette along with the entire disposable breathing circuit to reduce dismantling time.
