SAMAY S24: a novel wireless 'online' device for real-time monitoring and analysis of volumetric capnography

Volumetric capnography (VCap) provides information about CO 2 exhaled per breath (VCO 2 br) and physiologic dead space (VDphys). A novel wireless device with a high response time CO 2 mainstream sensor coupled with a digital flowmeter was designed to monitor all VCap parameters online in rabbits (SA...

Description
Summary:Volumetric capnography (VCap) provides information about CO 2 exhaled per breath (VCO 2 br) and physiologic dead space (VDphys). A novel wireless device with a high response time CO 2 mainstream sensor coupled with a digital flowmeter was designed to monitor all VCap parameters online in rabbits (SAMAY S24).Ten New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. VCO 2 br corresponds to the area under the VCap curve. We used the modified Langley method to assess the airway VD (VDaw) and the alveolar CO 2 pressure. VDphys was estimated using Bohr's formula, and the alveolar VD was calculated by subtracting VDaw from VDphys. We compared (Bland-Altman) the critical VCap parameters obtained by SAMAY S24 (Langley) with the Functional Approximation based on the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (FA-LMA) approach during closed and opened chest conditions.SAMAY S24 could assess dead space volumes and VCap shape in real time with similar accuracy and precision compared to the 'offline' FA-LMA approach. The opened chest condition impaired CO 2 kinetics, decreasing the phase II slope, which was correlated with the volume of CO 2 exhaled per minute.
