Description
Current average unintentional leak. Leak is an output of
the Vsync algorithm (see "Learn Circuit" on page 7).
Unintentional leak is calculated by subtracting expected
interface vent flow (based on the Mask Type in the
Settings menu) from total leak. Averaging is typically
over 2-6 breaths and can be shorter in the presence of
unstable leak.
The number of breaths per minute, averaged over the
last five breaths. A breath is considered as a respiratory
cycle if it exceeds 50 mL, either spontaneously or
machine triggered.
Note: The reported Respiratory Rate may be less that
the set Backup Rate. Breaths smaller than 50 mL may
not be recorded.
The duration of the ventilator inspiratory phase. This is
a set Ti value in Timed and PAC modes.
Tidal Volume is an estimate of quantity of inhaled air
per breath, calculated as an integral of respiratory flow:
based on the leak flow, the mask vent flow and the
total flow rate. The display is based on a five-breath
moving average, updated every breath.
Minute Ventilation is the product of Respiratory Rate
and Tidal Volume. The display is based on a five-breath
moving average, updated every breath.
