A Novel Nasal Cannula Type Mainstream Capnometer System Capable of Oxygen Administration
Abstract:
Capnometry is a method to measure carbon dioxide (CO2) in exhaled gas and has been used to monitor patient's respiratory status. During moderate or deep sedation, monitoring for the presence of exhaled CO2 is recommended for evaluating the adequacy of ventilation. Oxygen administration is usually given to patients with a nasal cannula to avoid hypoxia during sedation. However, the flow of oxygen administration can interfere with CO2 measurement. We developed a nasal cannula type adapter called cap-ONE nasal adapter system based on the mainstream capnography which is designed to monitor CO2 while supplying oxygen. In this study, we evaluated the basic performance of the system as compared with a conventional device using a spontaneous breathing model. The cap-ONE nasal adapter system could accurately measure PetCO2 without being disturbed by oxygen flow and efficiently supply oxygen.

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
