Measuring and trending minute ventilation in non-intubated patients
Minute Ventilation is the amount of air someone breathes in a minute. A change in minute ventilation is the first indication of respiratory deterioration.
The ExSpiron uses bioelectrical impedance, to measure the tissue’s opposition to carrying an alternating electrical current.
The system incorporates a single-use PadSet sensor and a monitor unit with integrated display
Impedance measurements through the disposable PadSet correlate with the volume of air in the lungs.
A single-use PadSet sensor is placed on the chest
Comfortable for patient
Adult and pediatric sizes
Easy to position and adhere
24-hour use
Intuitive, easy to use graphical interface displays measurement and trends for:
Minute Ventilation is the volume of air moved through the lungs in one minute
The ExSpiron uses patient size to calculate a predicted minute ventilation, which is that patients normal breathing at rest. This is defined as the patients 100% predicted minute ventilation (MVPRED)
ExSpiron continuously measures and displays the patient’s real time MVPRED using data from the PadSet. The ExSpiron displays the MVPRED both as a number and a trend.
Hyperventilation (as seen in COVID-19, RSV, and other viral pneumonias) is an increase in minute ventilation and when %MVPRED sustains at greater than 300% it may indicate a need for intervention
Hypoventilation is a decrease in minute ventilation volume and when %MVPRED sustains at less than 40% for a consecutive 2 minutes for adults and 30 seconds for pediatrics and may indicate a need for intervention.
The ExSpiron also detects episodes of apnea.
