Description
Its Purpose:
The Nellcor N85 Portable Capnograph Pulse Oximeter is a medical device used to monitor a patient’s oxygen saturation levels and the concentration of carbon dioxide in their exhaled breath, as well as other respiratory parameters. The device combines two different technologies – pulse oximetry and capnography – to provide a comprehensive view of the patient’s respiratory status.
The pulse oximeter part of the device uses a non-invasive sensor placed on the patient’s finger or earlobe to measure their blood oxygen saturation level. This measurement can provide important information about the patient’s respiratory function and overall health.
The capnography part of the device measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in the patient’s exhaled breath, which can provide important information about their ventilation and respiratory rate. This information is particularly useful during procedures such as sedation, anesthesia, and mechanical ventilation, where it is important to closely monitor the patient’s respiratory status to ensure their safety.
Acme’s Summary:
Overall, the Nellcor N85 Portable Capnograph Pulse Oximeter is designed to provide clinicians with accurate and reliable respiratory monitoring data in a portable and easy-to-use device. This information can help healthcare providers make important treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
