Bedside capnography monitors

Capnostream™ 20p bedside capnography monitor

<p>The Capnostream™ 20p patient monitor with Microstream™ technology provides a complete measurement of a patient’s oxygenation and ventilation status.</p>

Features

  • The dual parameter monitor supports current standards of care by providing etCO2 and SpO2 measurements.
  • The monitor is compatible with central monitoring systems and interfaces with nurse call systems and electronic medical records.
  • Smart Alarm Management™ integrated algorithms2,3 include Smart Alarm Management™ integrated algorithms, a suite of algorithms proven to reduce alarms and simplify the use of patient monitoring to enhance patient safety and improve clinical efficiency.4
  • Smart Breath Detection™ (SBD) screens out low amplitude "non-breath" etCO2 excursions like talking, crying, or snoring.
  • Smart Alarm for Respiratory Analysis™ (SARA) reduces 53% of clinically insignificant, unactionable nuisance alarms.5
  • Nellcor™ SatSeconds alerts clinicians to clinically significant changes in pulse oximetry.
  • Integrated Pulmonary Index™ algorithm (IPI) presents one value demonstrating real-time respiratory status based on etCO2, RR, PR, and SpO2.
  • Apnea-Sat Alert™ algorithm (ASA)‡ tracks and reports apneas per hour and oxygen desaturation index and provides the data in trend reports.

Frequently asked questions

Explain that the medication they will be given can make their breathing slow or shallow. Explain that a capnography monitor will alert clinicians to small changes in breathing before any problems can occur. Because the patient may be sedated, it is also important to educate family or friends who are present.

Let your patients and their family members know that alarms alert clinicians to a change in breathing. Explain that alarms can serve as a reminder to the patient to take a few deep breaths if they are awake.

Routine post-surgical activity, like sipping water or eating ice chips, does not interfere with monitoring.

Generally, patients will be monitored until the physician believes there is no longer a risk of slow or shallow breathing. This period depends on the type and duration of medication prescribed, as well as the patient’s response to the medication.
