SenTec digital transcutaneous (tc) sensors provide continuous and accurate measurements, supporting healthcare professionals to monitor ventilation in neonates. For better patient outcomes where it matters most.
Overcoming limitations of arterial blood gases, etCO2 and SpO2 monitoring. Assessing ventilation in neonatal patients is a challenge. Maintaining normal PaCO2 ranges in neonates is important as abnormal PaCO2 values
may have detrimental effects on neonates’ brain and lungs. Neonates in critical care units often have fluctuations of PaCO21.
End-tidal CO2 (etCO2) monitoring is sometimes inefficient in patients with small tidal volumes3 and inapplicable in certain ventilation modes such as HFO4.
Arterial blood gas sampling provides only a snapshot every few hours and bears the risk of invasiveness, especially in neonatal patients2, and is painful.
Measuring SpO2 alone is not sufficient to detect hyperventilation or hypoventilation. Changes of arterial CO2
levels can never be detected by SpO2 monitoring alone.
