The E Series unit displays EtCO2 (the concentration of carbon dioxide detected at the end of each exhalation) as a numerical value in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg), percent (%), or kilopascals (kPa). In addition, the unit can display a capnogram. This capnogram is a valuable clinical tool that can be
used to assess patient airway integrity and proper endotracheal (ET) tube placement. The unit calculates respiration rate by measuring the time interval
between detected peaks of the CO2 waveform. The technology differentiates between waveforms caused by breathing and those caused by cardiogenic
oscillations and artifact.
Noninvasive Blood Pressure
The Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) option on the E Series unit allows you to take a single blood pressure measurement, STAT measurements
(automatically repeated measurements over a 5 minute period), or automatic measurements at repeating pre-selected intervals.
The ZOLL E Series NIBP option is indicated for the non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure for resting patients in critical care and transport.
The NIBP option is designed to measure blood pressure for adult and pediatric patients.
The patient blood pressure cuff and hose connect to the E Series unit through the NIBP connector on the rear panel of the unit. The NIBP button on the
front panel of the E Series allows you to initiate and terminate blood pressure measurements. You can also initiate and terminate measurements using the
softkeys on the NIBP menu.
The NIBP module measures the oscillometric pulses transmitted through the blood pressure cuff and hose, and calculates the blood pressure measurements
accordingly. The blood pressure information (including the patient’s systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values) is shown on the E Series monitor.
