Patient Spirometry: Determining if a Patient‘s Ventilatory Status has Changed

You can determine if your patient’s ventilatory status has changed by comparing the current loop with one you have already saved. Using a single sensor at the patient’s airway, Patient Spirometry enables you to evaluate your patient‘s ventilatory status, breath by breath, reliably and easily, regardless of the type of ventilator.

Clinical examples

Kinked endotracheal tube

Bronchospasm

Unintentional one-lung intubation

Cuff or laryngeal mask leak

Patient breathing against ventilator (e.g. lack of relaxation)

Spontaneous breathing
