PC-sam main display
The PC-sam main display is shown on the next page configured with ECG, capnograph,
ventilator and temperature.
The CO
waveform from the capnograph is displayed along with the respiration rate,
2
respiration period, CO
waveform can be displayed in %, mmHg or kPa. The microCapStar measures the CO2
as a % and sends the value to the Capnograph/Ventilator Interface Module where the
current atmospheric pressure is measured and used to make the conversion to mmHg
or kPa.
Note that the CO
gate is delayed by several seconds relative to the breathing of the
2
animal. The delay is due to the long length of tubing. As a result, the CO
not be used for respiratory gating. Instead use P-resp or E-resp. when performing
respiratory gating.
