14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide

3Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly.

4To zero the sensor:

–expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all

sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patient’s breath and your own.

–in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal.

–When you see the message Zero done at <date

and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring.

5Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section.

WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the sensor and airway adapter.

Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable.

Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status.

To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters.

Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population.

Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2

1Plug the sensor cable into the monitor’s CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time

2Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the

sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly.

3 To zero the sensor:
