Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Evaluation of the Utility of the ExSpiron Respiratory Variation Monitor During Upper GI Endoscopy (NCT NCT02310230)

NCT ID: NCT02310230

Last Updated: 2024-06-25

Results Overview

Minute ventilation (or respiratory minute volume) is defined as the volume of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during one minute. The ExSpiron Respiratory Variation Monitor is able to quantify respiratory rate and also determine tidal volume and minute ventilation. The monitor measures a patient's baseline minute ventilation (MV) at the beginning of the case, and then compares subsequent minute volumes to that baseline, measured as a percentage of the baseline. In that respect, the minute ventilation (MV) values can often exceed 100 percent.
