English term or phrase: Dead space volume

When using the XXX airway adapter on children or patients with
low ventilatory amount, the CO2 may mix in the inspiration due to the
airway adapter’s dead space volume (5 mL), resulting in inaccurate
measured values or difficulty in detecting apnea. Perform ventilation
taking into consideration the 5 mL dead space volume.

skadliga rummet

Explanation:
Dead space heter inte dödrum utan märkligt nog skadliga rummet. Det känner jag till som läkare och tidigare amanuens på fysiologen. Dead space volume bör bli volymen av skadliga rummet i lämplig omformulering för att passa in i meningen.
