Title: | Laboratory validation of the M-COVX metabolic module in measurement of oxygen uptake. | Austin Authors: | Stuart-Andrews, C R;Peyton, Philip J ;Walker, T B;Cairncross, A D;Robinson, Gavin J B;Lithgow, B | Affiliation: | Department of Anaesthesia, The Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-May-2009 | Publication information: | Anaesthesia and Intensive Care; 37(3): 399-406 | Abstract: | A practical method of breath-by-breath monitoring of metabolic gas exchange has previously been developed by GE Healthcare and can now be easily incorporated into existing anaesthetic and critical care monitoring (M-COVX). Previous research using this device has shown good accuracy and precision between the M-COVX measurements and a traditional measurement of gas uptake at the mouth and also against the reverse Fick method during cardiac surgery and critical care, but its accuracy in the paediatric situation and across a range of ventilatory settings awaits validation. We tested the M-COVX metabolic monitor in the laboratory comparing its measurement to a traditional Haldane transformation across a wide range of oxygen consumption values, from 50 ml/minute to just under 300 ml/minute, typical of those expected in anaesthetised adults and children. The M-COVX device showed acceptable accuracy with an overall mean bias of -3.3% (range -15.1 to +4.2%, P = 0.21). Excellent linearity was found, by y = 0.96x + 0.5 ml/minute, r = 0.99. The device showed acceptable robustness to ventilatory changes examined, including changes in respiratory rate, I:E ratio, FiO2 up to 75% and simulated spontaneous breathing. However any induced leak from around the simulated endotracheal tube caused a significant error in paediatric scenarios. | Gov't Doc #: | 19499859 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10832 | Journal: | Anaesthesia and Intensive Care | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19499859 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adolescent Adult Age Factors Anesthesia.methods Child Child, Preschool Critical Care.methods Equipment Design Humans Infant Monitoring, Intraoperative.instrumentation Monitoring, Physiologic.instrumentation Oxygen Consumption Pulmonary Gas Exchange Reproducibility of Results Respiration, Artificial.methods Young Adult |
