Full Breath Parameters Test Screen - Fluke VT Plus HF Operator's Manual

Full Breath Parameters Test Screen

7.
The full test screen is used to display all of the breath parameters calculated by the VT
PLUS HF. Note that breath detection must be enabled for breath parameters to be
calculated. See Chapter 4, System Setup for instructions on enabling breath detection.
Trend:
Press the soft key below TREND to obtain a printed trend of a single
parameter. See Chapter 6, Special Functions for a more detailed
description of the trend function.
Press the soft key below CLEAR to reset the statistics and re-start the
Clear:
plot.
When an asterisk appears for a parameter value, the parameter is either invalid for the
current breath detect mode or the system does not have sufficient information to
accurately calculate the parameter. For example, base flow is invalid during bi-directional
breath detection mode since the base flow is only seen in the inspiratory and expiratory
limbs of the ventilator circuit. In another example, it would be impossible to measure the
inspiratory hold pressure during the expiratory-only mode.
Note: The Assist Pressure "Assist" and the Minimum Pressure "Min. Pres" are
not available for trending and cannot be added to other screens using the
parameter selection. Refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on Assist Mode
testing.
