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
