Abstract: Techniques for determining a volume of exhaled CO2 as a function of time using side-stream capnography, including obtaining flow dynamics measurements of a subject from a flow sensor; obtaining CO2 concentration measurements of the subject from a side-stream CO2 monitor; determining a duration of time (?Ts1) for a sample of gas to flow from a reference point to the side-stream CO2 monitor; synchronizing in time the CO2 concentration measurement with the flow dynamics measurement, based on the determined ?Ts1; and determining a volume of CO2 exhaled as a function of time, based on the flow dynamics measurement and the synchronized CO2 concentration measurement.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject. The devices, systems, and methods obtain a measurement of ambient pressure at a defined time point (‘t1’) and compare the measurement of ambient pressure at the defined time point (‘t1’) to a reference ambient pressure. If a difference between the measured ambient pressure values at t1 and the reference ambient pressure is at or above a predetermined threshold, the alarm limits are updated to correspond with the ambient pressure at t1 or a user is alerted to update the alarm limits.
