Patient Spirometry: Viewing Ventilation Status

Using a single sensor at the patient’s airway, patient spirometry enables clinicians to view patients’ ventilatory status, breath by breath, reliably and easily, regardless of the type of ventilator. This poster illustrated how with graphs and representative examples from four types of patients.

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.
