CO2 display
On the Cockpit, the CO2 display consists of:
–A CO
2 parameter field
–A CO
2 waveform
CO2 parameter field
Parameter fields report parameter values and
indicate the alarm status of parameters. Parameter
fields can also report technical conditions such as
disconnected sensors, and so on. For detailed
information regarding the content of parameter
fields for each parameter, see the chapter
"Troubleshooting" on page 509.
The CO
2 parameter field contains the following
elements:
A etCO2 (end-tidal CO2) label
B Unit of measurement (can be
activated/deactivated)
C inCO2 label (inspired CO
2)
D inCO2 value – the level of CO
2 in the airway
during inspiration, taken as the minimum value
during the previous measurement interval
E Upper/lower alarm limits or crossed triangle
symbols when alarms are deactivated
F RRc (respiratory rate) parameter label
G RRc value – respiratory rate derived from the
CO
2 signal
H etCO2 value – highest CO
2 value in the airway
during expiratory phase
NOTE
The following diagram shows a typical parameter
field layout. This layout may change when addi-
tional parameters are put on display. For more in-
formation, see "Parameter fields" on page 62.
