Oxygen nasal cannula Dual™

capnography

Oxygen is delivered to both nostrils via the lower ports and EtCO2 is sampled from both nostrils for sidestream or Microstream™ CO2 monitoring through the upper prongs. During exhalation, oxygen flow is diverted away for an accurate and reliable capnography trace. Dual Masks and Nasal Cannulas simultaneously deliver supplementary oxygen and enable EtCO2 monitoring when using a sidestream or Microstream™ capnometer. Guidelines1-7 require EtCO2 monitoring of all moderately or deeply sedated patients, for patients being recovered from anesthesia or moderate or deep sedation, and during CPR to monitor ET tube placement, efficacy of chest compressions and early indication of return of spontaneous circulation. Comfort and Security Oxygen tubing and monitoring line are lightly bonded together, but can be separated to reach the flow meter and capnometer, minimising clutter around the patient. Patient Comfort Soft Touch tubing reduces friction for increased comfort over the ears and across the face.
