The IVCO2 Index™ provides a continuous risk estimation of inadequate ventilation or hypercapnia. The Index uses mathematical models of human physiology to determine the likelihood that the patient is experiencing inadequate carbon dioxide ventilation. The algorithm also estimates the mismatch between lung ventilation and perfusion, accounting for differences that can occur between EtCO2 values and arterial CO2 levels measured via an arterial blood gas sample.
