Why use a BRAEBON Pressure Transducer?
To accurately and reliably detect flow limitation and Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). Published research has concluded that monitoring flow noninvasively with a nasal cannula can detect flow limitation extending your diagnostic reach to include UARS. Flow limitation appears as a flattening or plateau on the inspiratory waveform and is best viewed with a low frequency filter of 0.01 Hz or less (decay time constant of 5 seconds or longer). For those of you who remain interested in using the gold standard of Respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERAs), BRAEBON’s Dual Pressure Transducer is rated for use with air-filled esophageal catheters (BRAEBON only recommends Ackrad Laboratories’ catheters). The simplicity of the BRAEBON Dual Pressure Transducer plus the comfort of modern air-filled catheters results in simple esophageal monitoring. Note: If you’re not using a BRAEBON Pressure Transducer, make sure your pressure transducer is both stable and linear with negative pressures be
