neo 5 Flashcards
graphic display of airway CO2 concentration or partial measurement as a fuunction of time
capnography
the waveform produced in capnography
capnogram
noninvasive and continuous measurement of exhaled carbon dioxide concentration overtime
capnography
measurement and display of carbon dioxide (CO2) on a digital or analogue monitor
capnometry
monitoring deice that measures and numerically displays the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled air
capnometer
starts at exhalation/inhalation
phase 1
expiratory upstroke and traces steep rises in CO2 levels
phase 2
expiratory plateau and represent mostly alveolar gas exhalation
phase 3
inhalation phase and brings oxygenated gas into the lungs, returning gas levels and capnograph waveform to the beginning of a new cycle and baseline
phase 4/0
shark-fin apperancee
bronchospasm
monitoring device that measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaled air, displays a numerical read-out, and waveform tracing
capnograph
measured through the use of a sensor that is inserted via an airway adapter ; very accurate reading
mainstream CO2
uses a sensor that is located inside the monitor instead of an external sensor
sidestream CO2
level of CO2 that is released at the end of an exhaled breath ; graphical measurement of partial pressure of CO2 during expirration
end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring
a noninvasive technique which represents the partial pressure or maximal concentration of CO2 at the end of exhalation
end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2)
