Pressure Curve Upstream Of The Y-Piece; Special Cases; Inspiration Volume Vti - Fluke VT305 User Manual

Flow cannot be used here as a trigger. The
pressure curve must be used.

Pressure Curve Upstream of the Y-Piece

For the pressure curve shown in Figure 41, the standard
triggers can be used: (> 1 mbar / < 1 mbar).

Note
The trigger is significantly higher than the noise of
the base line. If not, the trigger value must be
increased.

Special Cases

In measurement technology there can always be a
deviation from the standard variants to get a more
accurate result. You can get very accurate results with the
settings shown in this manual, which is better than the
accuracy of all respiratory equipment.
Measurement errors inherent in the overall system occur in
the respiratory apparatus and in the Product. The values
shown in the display can be different because not the
same thing was measured and compared.

Inspiration Volume Vti

If the breath curve shows a plateau or a break, a tiny flow
can be measured during this time. A lot of breathing
equipment does not include these tiny flows when they
calculate Vti. You can match this behavior in the Product
when you use the trigger values that follow:
