Capnometry is a method to measure carbon dioxide (CO) in exhaled gas and it has been used to monitor patient respiratory status. CO monitoring is also used for patients receiving non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) therapy during mechanical ventilation. Ventilators actively dilute exhaled gas during non-invasive ventilation. In order to accurately measure end-tidal CO, an adequate amount of expired gas needs to be filled in a CO measurement cell before expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) gas from the ventilator arrives to the cell. This is the reason why it is difficult to measure CO stably during non-invasive ventilation using the conventional CO measurement method. Therefore, we developed NPPV cap-ONE mask, which accurately measures CO in exhaled gas during non-invasive ventilation. In this study, we evaluated the basic performance of the NPPV cap-ONE mask system. The NPPV cap-ONE mask system could accurately measure CO in exhaled gas comparing to the conventional device in this study.
二氧化碳测定法是一种测量呼出气体中二氧化碳(CO)的方法,已被用于监测患者的呼吸状态。CO监测也用于在机械通气期间接受无创正压通气(NPPV)治疗的患者。在无创通气期间,呼吸机主动稀释呼出气体。为了准确测量呼气末CO,在呼吸机的呼气末正压(EPAP)气体到达测量单元之前,需要在CO测量单元中充入足够量的呼出气体。这就是为什么使用传统的CO测量方法在无创通气期间难以稳定测量CO的原因。因此,我们开发了NPPV cap-ONE面罩,它能在无创通气期间准确测量呼出气体中的CO。在本研究中,我们评估了NPPV cap-ONE面罩系统的基本性能。与本研究中的传统设备相比,NPPV cap-ONE面罩系统能够准确测量呼出气体中的CO。
