Measuring and Monitoring etCO
•
Obtain a new airway adapter and check that the
windows are intact and clean.
•
Attach the airway adapter to the sensor (the
triangles on the airway adapter and on the
sensor must be in alignment - Figure 10-3).
•
Connect the airway adapter to the respirator
system (connector c towards the patient, con-
nector d towards the respirator - Figure 10-3).
•
Ensure that the sensor is on top and that the
windows of the airway adapter are in a vertical
position. Although the "No-fog-membrane"
prevents moisture condensation on the window,
liquid secretions could soil the window.
•
Connect the sensor to the defibrillator (yellow
connector, right).
The CO
measurement begins as soon as the sensor
2
is connected. During the short self-test, the
parameter window is blue. As soon as the sensor
supplies a valid reading, the color changes to
green. Check that the indicator on the CO
cable lights green; if a problem is detected, the
indicator flashes red (apnea or system failure).
At the factory, only a low etCO
is adjusted, no high limit. When the parameter
reading drops below this value, the defibrillator
sounds an alarm and the window changes from
green to red.
Adjusting Alarm Limits
