What is Capnometer?

Capnometer or Capnograph is a medical tool that measures the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the breath of patients. These devices are used in a range of settings, from fields to operating rooms and are supplied with many medical and delivery. Models designed for specific applications such as anesthesia can have special features that are designed to make it easier and more efficient to use. There are situations that may interfere with the replacement of gas in the lungs, change the composition of the lungs, or make it difficult for people to remove CO2 from their bodies, and the capnometer can be used to identify changes in CO2 expiration that could indicate that the medical problem occurs. Changes in carbon dioxide levels during surgery may indicate that there is a problem with anesthesia or that surgical complications occur. By monitoring the amount of CO2 that the patient breathes over time or with the volume of every breath can anesthesisIolog to vigilant for emerging stamps of problematic complications.

Capnometers are also used in an intensive care unit where patients are stable but still in a critical condition. The device may indicate when CO2 levels change, alert the carer of the patient's condition and the potential of the lung problem. Like other devices used in intensive care, the Capnometer can be programmed to transmit to a long -distance monitoring area to monitor the nurses to the nursing station. It can also be involved in a remote alpin that signals when they reach a dangerous point.

Capnometer can also be used in respiratory studies. Patients with respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic pulmonary obstruction disorder, emphysema, etc.In the future, it can be referred to during treatment and evaluation.
