Volumetric capnography goes beyond EtCO2

The Avea™ comprehensive ventilator equips the clinician with tools to measure and minimize dead space by providing continuous feedback regarding ventilation and perfusion.

Benefits :

1. This has been shown to lead decreased time on mechanical ventilation.

2. PEEP selection based on transpulmonary pressure and Vd/Vt in ARDS may help to avoid alveolar collapse and lung stress.
