Why is the CO2 level elevated with the waveform baseline in Dräger Medical Equipment?
B
Benjamin EvansAug 3, 2025
Elevated waveform baseline with a corresponding increase in CO2 level in Dräger Medical Equipment can be due to rebreathing. This may stem from using a disposable airway adapter when the Cockpit is configured for a reusable type, a contaminated airway adapter, CO2 zero drift, insufficient expiratory time, a faulty expiratory valve, inadequate inspiratory flow, malfunction of a CO2 absorber system, or partial rebreathing circuits.

Kayla BakerAug 8, 2025
A change in the slope of the ascending limb and possible absence of an alveolar plateau in Dräger Medical Equipment may indicate an obstruction. This could be due to a partial obstruction in the expiratory limb of the breathing circuit, foreign matter in the upper airway, a partially kinked or occluded artificial airway, a herniated endotracheal or tracheostomy tube cuff, or bronchospasm.

Why does Dräger Personal Care Products show an elevated waveform baseline with a low CO2 increase?
M
Michael WardAug 18, 2025
An elevated waveform baseline with a corresponding low increase in CO2 level in Dräger Personal Care Products can be caused by rebreathing. This may be due to: using a disposable airway adapter when the Cockpit is configured for a reusable adapter; a contaminated airway adapter (dirty window); CO2 zero drift; insufficient expiratory time; a faulty expiratory valve; inadequate inspiratory flow; malfunction of a CO2 absorber system; or partial rebreathing circuits.

What causes a downward slope on the alveolar plateau in Dräger Personal Care Products?
J
Jessica WolfeAug 23, 2025
A downward slope on the alveolar plateau that merges with a descending limb in Dräger Personal Care Products is often caused by a leaky or deflated endotracheal or tracheostomy cuff.
