Description
Key Features
Dual Functionality: This cannula serves two purposes simultaneously: it delivers oxygen to the patient while also sampling exhaled gases for End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring.
Compatibility: The cannula features a male Luer connector, which allows it to pair with sidestream low-flow capnography monitors. It also has a universal connector for compatibility with various oxygen delivery systems.
Patient Comfort: It is made from soft PVC material with dip-molded nasal prongs for enhanced patient comfort during extended use.
Kink-Resistant Tubing: The tubing is designed to be kink-resistant, helping to ensure an uninterrupted flow of both oxygen and the CO2 sample. The MS-35400A7 specifically has a 7-foot length of tubing.
Safety: The product is disposable, single-use, and not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and cross-contamination.
Uses
The Medsource MS-35400A7 is used in a variety of clinical settings for patient monitoring. Its primary use is:
Respiratory Monitoring: It allows healthcare professionals to get a breath-by-breath measurement of ETCO2. This is a critical parameter for assessing the adequacy of a patient's ventilation, perfusion, and oxygenation.
Anesthesia: It is used during surgical procedures to monitor a patient's breathing under anesthesia.
Emergency Medicine: The cannula is an essential tool in prehospital and acute care settings for rapidly assessing a patient's respiratory status.
General Medical Care: It is used for continuous monitoring in critical care units, post-operative recovery, and other situations where close respiratory observation is required.
