Abstract
A method for measuring a patient's expired COlevel in a non-invasive ventilator system while maintaining a positive inspiratory pressure. The method includes the steps of: receiving, by the non-invasive ventilator system, a signal comprising an instruction to obtain a COmeasurement from a patient; lowering, by the non-invasive ventilator system in response to the signal, the expiratory positive airway pressure from a first, higher level to a second, lower level for a first time period comprising one or more breaths; obtaining, by a COsensor, a COmeasurement during the first time period; and returning, after the first time period, the expiratory positive airway pressure to the first, higher level.
