Overview

The safety of patients in the operating theatre depends on knowing their status from moment to moment, when time and space are limited. CARESCAPE* respiratory modules increase CARESCAPE monitor functionality to deliver more complete data, and their single-width size frees up valuable space.

CARESCAPE respiratory modules monitor respiratory and ventilatory parameters for adult, paediatric and neonatal patients in anaesthesia and critical care applications.

This is innovative technology designed to help your patients breathe a little easier.

Benefits

Clinical confidence
With CARESCAPE respiratory modules, you can be confident that you are adequately meeting your patient’s ventilatory demand, that the ET tube is correctly positioned, and that you are giving the right anaesthetics and the right dosages at the right time. CARESCAPE may help you to avoid lung trauma or complications thanks to enhanced data and early warnings.

Streamlined workflow
CARESCAPE’s compact, integrated modules let you optimise workflow efficiency. With fewer connections and less equipment, you’ll save time on system checks, calibrations, changes and service. You will help reduce breathing circuit/gas monitoring downtime, and save space in the operating theatre.

Increased CARESCAPE monitor functionality:

Integrated all-in-one gas modules - can be flexibly used with CARESCAPE monitors for intubated and non-intubated patients, from basic gas monitoring to lung mechanics.
Single-width size - frees up valuable space in the CARESCAPE Monitor B650 to enable simultaneous use of the Entropy measurement module.
Ventilation and anaesthesia delivery support - provides essential data including inspired and expired CO2, O2, N2O, anaesthetic agents, and, optionally, lung mechanics.
Compatibility with other modules - helps provide a more complete picture of patient status during surgical procedures with Entropy and hemodynamic modules.

Features

Calculated balance gas value for estimating the N2-concentration

Clinical Measurements

The CARESCAPE family of compact airway modules is designed to support respiratory monitoring in anaesthesia and critical care areas. Depending on the module type, host device software version and the clinical application, they provide measurements of airway gases, anaesthetic agents with identification and Patient Spirometry.

Clinical measurements:

CO2 and N2O - GE infrared technology: Inspired and end-tidal values, CO2 waveform and respiration rate
Respiration rate - calculated from the CO2 waveform
Anaesthetic agents - GE infrared technology
- Measures and identifies all five agents and two agent mixtures: halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane
- MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration)
- MACage with age, temperature and ambient pressure compensation
Patient oxygen - GE paramagnetic oxygen (O2) technology: Inspired, end-tidal and Fi-Et difference, waveform
Patient Spirometry - Designed to measure true patient values independent of the ventilator with GE-patented D-lite(+) and Pedi-lite(+) flow sensors and gas samplers at the patient airway
- Numerical values for airway pressure, minute and tidal volumes, compliance, airway resistance and I:E ratio values, and flow and airway pressure waveforms
- Continuous measurement of intrinsic, extrinsic and total PEEP
- Pressure-volume and flow-volume loops
- Ability to store and print up to six loops
- Recall saved loops to compare to current loop
- Module keys to save or change loop view
