Objective of Presentation
• This presentation on Monitoring gives the reader an overview of
current systems which can be used to monitor mechanical
ventilation. It covers medical fundamentals and recognition of lifethreatening situations.
• The reader will also become acquainted with the different priorities
of alarms on MEDUMAT Transport.

Ventilation Monitoring
Every use of mechanical ventilation has to be monitored
continuously as a check of its effectiveness and success.
In addition to oxygen saturation -- the ‘sign of success’ –
other measures are required for the assessment and
management of the ventilation process.
The following parameters can be used in an evaluation:
–Clinic
–Capnometry
–Expiration volumetry
–Ventilation pressures
–(Blood Gas Analysis)

Important Parameters For Assessing the
Quality of Ventilation
• Measurements:
– Tidal volume
– Respiratory Minute Volume
– Respiratory rate
– Maximum pressure
– PEEP level
– etCO2
• Curves
– Flow curve
– Pressure curve
– Capnography

Capnometry /Capnography
• Non-invasive continuous monitoring of CO2 portion of exhaled air
– Check position of tube
– Check ventilation
– Check circulatory function
• Sensitive monitoring process
• Two different reporting means
– capnometry (numeric value)
– capnography (curve)

Functional Principle of etCO2 Measurement
• Infrared spectroscopy with wave length of 426 nm
• Absorption of light proportional to number of available
CO2 gas molecules

Interpretation of CO2 Curves
• Exponential decrease in PCO2
– Cardiac arrest
– Pulmonary embolism
– Sudden decrease in blood pressure
• Constant low etCO2
– Absolute hyperventilation
– Low body temperature
– Centralization of shock
• Constant high etCO2
– Hypoventilation
• Sudden decrease in etCO2
– Accidental extubation
– Faulty esophageal intubation
– Disconnection
• Slant in etCO2 plateau
– Bronchospasms (e.g., asthma)

Influences on etCO2 Level
In patients depending on:
– Circulatory function and CO2 transport to lungs
– Metabolism at cellular level
– Ventilation for respiratory elimination of CO2

Normal Capnometry /Capnography
– etCO2 in patient with normoventilation
• 4-5 Vol% = 30-35 mm Hg
– Conversion:
• 1 Vol% = 7 mmHg
• 1 mmHg = 0.15 Vol%

Alarms
• Distinction between physiological and system alarms in MEDUMAT
Transport
• Graduated in three (3) alarm escalation levels
• Requires individual adjustment for each patient

Summary
• Every ventilation of a patient requires that thorough checks be made
of the ventilation settings by measuring physiological parameters.
• Knowing the etCO2 numerical values and curves gives the user a
greater degree of safety and certainty during ventilation of
emergency patients.
• Device-specific alarms in three different priority levels indicate
problems or danger.
