Dual Nasal Cannula

Capnography and CO2 Monitoring
Monitoring patient's breathing in emergency situations is of paramount importance. Delivering oxygen ensures the level of oxygen saturation in the blood is maintained and this sometimes is monitored and measured by a pulse oximeter.

However, the pulse oximeter does not provide breath by breath patient ventilator status. Capnography is the vital sign of ventilation. By tracking the patient's expired CO2, clinicians can evaluate the ventilation condition of the patient during critical emergency situations and make the judgment to assess and treat the patient.

End Tidal CO2 Monitoring & O2 Delivery Cannula
The Dual nasal cannula is designed to provide oxygen to both nostrils and also sample CO2 at the same time. The CO2 sampling is taken from both nostrils and there is no risk of mixing with fresh oxygen as the patient's expiratory flow will divert fresh gas away from the sampling prongs.

CO2: CO2 is sampled from both nostrils for side stream

CO2 monitoring through the left side tube.

O2: Fresh oxygen is delivered to both nostrils via the right

compartment and tubing of the Dual nasal cannula.

Advantages:
- Excellent sampling accuracy as there are two

end tidal CO2 sampling ports
- Superior waveforms as Dual has two end tidal

C02 sampling ports
- Reliable sampling under the following

conditions:
- Clogged sinus' in one nostril
- Deviated septum
- Polyps

- Oxygen delivered in both nostrils at lower rate, thus

minimizing mucosal wall damage
- Secure luer lock connection for both male & female

connections
- Soft tip cannula provides superior patient comfort and

nare positioning
- Non-kinking tube ensures consistent and accurate

delivery
- Universal oxygen connector is standard on all items
