How EtCO

2

is Displayed

The R Series unit displays the numeric EtCO

2

value in units of mmHg, unless configured for

percent or kPa. Refer to the R Series Configuration Guide (Part No. 9650-1201-01) for
instructions on how to configure alternate units of measure. The unit also displays the number
of breaths per minute, labeled “RR” for respiration rate. In addition, a capnogram may be
displayed using the Trace 2 or Trace 3 softkey.

Displaying the Capnogram Waveform

The R Series unit can display 1, 2 or 3 waveforms in Monitor, Defib, or Manual (BLS/Plus
models) mode, as long as the defibrillator is not charging or ECG analysis is not in progress.
The unit displays only 1 or 2 waveforms in Pacer mode.

Note:

If you don’t see the CO

2

display box on the monitor, check the sensor cable connection

to the R Series unit. The CO

2

display box is not displayed if the sensor is not

connected to the unit. Once the box is displayed, after power-on, it remains displayed
even if the sensor is disconnected from the unit.

With EtCO

2

monitoring, the unit can display a capnogram below the ECG trace for a visual

indicator of the moment-by-moment CO

2

values. The unit displays the capnogram at half the

speed of the ECG display, and provides 8 or 10 seconds of data, depending on the setup.

The unit removes the third waveform from the display when the user presses the CHARGE,
ANALYZE, or ENERGY SELECT buttons, or the Sync On/Off softkey.

To cycle the display from the capnogram to other waveforms (SpO

2

, CPR, or Filt ECG) press

the Options softkey, then the Traces softkey. Select Trace 2 or Trace 3 and then the desired
waveform. Press Off to remove any additional waveforms.

Use the Zoom softkey from the EtCO

2

submenu to adjust the waveform display size. Numbers

shown on the left side of the capnogram display indicate the scaling.
