14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide

Using the Microstream CO2 Extension (M3015A)

For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set.

For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine (which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine).

Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter

1Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector on the measurement extension by pushing the socket cover down and screwing the connector into place.

2Check that the FilterLine is not kinked.

3Change the FilterLine if a “CO2 OCCLUSION” INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic.

Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies.

For best results change the FilterLines for non-humidified use (with orange connectors) after 24 hours of continuous use and the FilterLines H, for humidified use, (with yellow connectors) after 72 hours of continuous use.

CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked

Removing Exhaust Gases from the System

WARNING Anesthetics: When using the Microstream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, or to the anesthesia machine/ ventilator, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.

Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the Measurement Server Extension at the outlet connector.
