Use the CapnoTrainer® for observing, identifying, teaching, and
learning new breathing behavioral patterns.
- Pinpoint optimal breathing mechanics for acid-base balance.
- Discover the triggers for good and bad breathing patterns.
- See how thoughts, moods, and emotions are changed by breathing.
- Learn how mental and physical performance is altered by breathing.
- Evaluate the effects of breathing on learning, memory, and attention.
- See how breathing behavior and defensiveness may be related.
- Examine how pain, injury, discomfort, and breathing may be linked.
- Discover how breathing may be mediating unexplained symptoms.
- Test for anaerobic threshold during fitness training by monitoring CO2.
- Use breathing as a way of exploring awareness and consciousness.
- Learn what good and bad breathing behaviors feel like.
- Help people overcome their fears about breathing.
- Teach embracement through breathing and heart variability training.
- Learn to breathe intuitively, inside-out, rather than prescriptively, outside-in.
If you are an educator, trainer, coach, counselor, or clinician use the
CapnoTrainer® as a teaching and learning tool.

RESTRICTED USE:
The CapnoTrainer® is an educational instrument designed for learning
good breathing behavior, and is not intended for diagnosis and/or treatment
of symptoms and deficits.
Learned breathing behaviors may trigger, exacerbate, perpetuate, or
a wide variety of symptoms, deficits, and complaints:
shortness of breath, breathlessness, chest tightness/pressure, chest pain,
feelings of suffocation, sweaty palms, cold hands, tingling of the skin,
numbness, heart palpitations, irregular heart beat, anxiety, apprehension,
emotional outbursts, stress, tenseness, fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, dry
mouth, nausea, light-headedness, dizziness, fainting, black-out, blurred
vision, confusion, disorientation, attention deficit, poor thinking, poor
memory, poor concentration, impaired judgment, problem solving deficit,
reduced pain threshold, headache, trembling, twitching, shivering, muscle
tension, spasm, stiffness, abdominal cramps, and bloatedness.
Overbreathing behavior (resulting in CO2 deficit), may trigger or
exacerbate acute and chronic conditions in predisposed individuals:
phobias (e.g., public speaking), migraine phenomena, hypertension, attention
disorder, asthma attacks, angina attacks, heart attacks, panic attacks,
hypoglycemia, ischemia (e.g., tissue hypoxia), depression, epileptic
seizures, sexual dysfunction, sleep disturbances, allergy, irritable bowel
syndrome, repetitive strain injury, and chronic fatigue.

SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
The software runs on PC computers and operates within Windows 98
(second edition), Millennium, 2000, NT, XP, Vista, & Seven environments.
Observe the following physiology:
- CO2 waveform, in mmHg: airflow pattern
- Breathing rhythmicity: breath holding, gasping
- End-tidal CO2 (ETCO2), in mmHg: overbreathing
- Coordinating breath: rate and depth
- Breathing rate averages, in breaths per minute
- Heart Rate, beat to beat calculations: heart rate variability
- Breathing Heart Wave (BHW): parasympathetic tone
- BHW amplitude, in beats per minute: degree of relaxation
- Heart Rate (HR) averages (traditional measurement)
- Multiple heart wave frequencies (HF/LF/VLF)
- Frequency analysis of heart rate variability (HRV DFT)
- Differential autonomic nervous system measurements
