Does Nitric Oxide (NO) administration interfere with M-COVX measurements?
No. The amount of NO is so minimal. Q: Can D-lite + be connected during administration of nebulized drugs? A: D-lite and HME(F) should be disconnected while using nebulizer. After administration D-lite + can be reconnected immediately. Q: Why is the Compliance value in the S/5 monitor not the same as the value at the ventilator? A: The monitor measures directly at the ET-tube and reflects more closely follows compliance of the lung. Hoses and other equipment between the patient and the ventilator influence the values measured in the ventilator. Q: Why are the values not correct, if a ventilator with high continuous flow? A: Due to high flow rates, as is found in some ventilators, the expiratory gas concentrations will dilute before measured (too low values are detected) and the high flow creates turbulence in the Y-piece. This causes a pressure difference over the D-lite + and leads to erroneous readings. This problem can be avoided by using an extra connector of 4-7ml between Y-piece
