Capnography
Our CO2 sensors are used across a variety of medical applications, such as capnography, to detect concentrations in order to help diagnose heart and lung function.
- CO2Meter sensors are cost-effective and use best-in-class NDIR technology
- Commonly used to provide accurate CO2 morphology for patient diagnosis
- Provide the end-user with the ability to analyze CO2 waveforms
- Some of our sensors are also compatible with pumped gas analysis systems
How is CO2 measured in capnography?
The amount of CO2 exhaled at the end of each breath (EtCO2) is typically monitored through a sensor located between the patient's airway and ventilator. Then, is numerically and graphically displayed as a waveform. This ETco2 monitoring provides key information about CO2 production and ventilation; as well as breath-by-breath analysis of ventilatory status.
