Capnograph Sidestream CA10S

The Capnograph Sidestream CA10S is a medical device designed to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a patient's exhaled breath, which is crucial for monitoring respiratory function. This type of capnograph uses sidestream technology, where a small sample of exhaled gas is drawn away from the patient's airway and analyzed for CO2 levels.

Key Features of the CA10S Capnograph:

1. Sidestream Technology:

   • Utilizes a sidestream method for CO2 measurement, where a small volume of exhaled gas is continuously sampled and analyzed.
   • This allows for accurate measurements without obstructing the patient’s breathing circuit.

2. Real-Time CO2 Monitoring:

   • Provides continuous and real-time monitoring of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2), which is critical for assessing ventilation and overall respiratory status.
   • Capable of displaying both numerical values and waveforms for a comprehensive view of a patient’s respiratory function.

3. High Sensitivity and Accuracy:

   • Designed to deliver precise and rapid measurements of CO2 levels, enhancing patient safety during anesthesia and sedation.

4. User-Friendly Interface:

   • Features a clear display that allows healthcare providers to easily interpret the CO2 levels and trends.
   • The intuitive design facilitates quick setup and operation, minimizing the learning curve for clinical staff.

5. Versatile Applications:

   • Suitable for use in a variety of settings, including operating rooms, intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, and during transport of patients.
   • Can be used for both adult and pediatric patients.

6. Compact and Portable:

   • Designed to be lightweight and portable, allowing for ease of use in different clinical environments.

Applications:

• Anesthesia Monitoring: Essential for monitoring patients under anesthesia to ensure adequate ventilation and detect hypoventilation or hyperventilation.
• Critical Care: Used in ICUs to monitor patients with respiratory distress or those on mechanical ventilation.
• Emergency Medicine: Valuable for assessing airway management and ventilation status in emergency situations.

Benefits:

• Improved Patient Safety: Continuous monitoring of CO2 levels helps prevent respiratory complications during medical procedures.
• Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making: Provides valuable data that assists healthcare providers in making informed decisions about patient care and interventions.
