  • Page 2: Alarm Limits

    Touch-Turn-Accept method to modify alarms. Proximal flow sensors The AVEA ventilator accepts either hot wire or variable orifice proximal low sensors. These are in addition to the internal inspiratory flow sensor and heated expiratory flow sensor. The variable orifice sensor attaches to the receptacle circled in dark blue.
  • Page 3 Monitors and definitions Volume monitors Exhaled tidal volume. Vte/kg Exhaled tidal volume adjusted for patient weight. Inspired tidal volume. Vti/kg Inspired tidal volume adjusted for patient weight. Spon Vt Spontaneous tidal volume. Spon Vt/kg Spontaneous tidal volume adjusted for patient weight. Mandatory tidal volume: Displayed as a rolling average of either Mand Vt 8 breaths or one minute, whichever occurs first.
  • Page 4 Monitors and definitions (continued) Mechanics (continued) Respiratory system compliance (C ), (a.k.a. static compliance Cstat Cstat), absolute and normalized to patient weight. Cstat/kg Note: This requires an Inspiratory Hold maneuver. PIFR Peak inspiratory flow rate. PEFR Peak expiratory flow rate. The ratio of the tidal volume (exhaled) to the delta esophageal Pressure (dP ).
  • Page 5 Monitors and definitions (continued) Mechanics (continued) The difference between the corresponding airway and esophageal pressures at the end of the expiratory hold during PEEP an AutoPEEP maneuver. Requires an inspiratory hold and esophageal catheter. The maximum negative airway pressure that is achieved by the patient, during an expiratory hold maneuver.

    Monitors and definitions (continued) Capnography (continued) Alveolar ventilation is the volume of gas participating in gas exchange per minute. Requires an arterial blood gas sample. The PaO / FIO ratio is a simple assessment of gas exchange calculated from the FIO monitor value and an arterial blood oxygen measurement (required) entered by the clinician.
