Inspiratory pause, a manoeuvre started by the operator which closes
the inspiratory and expiratory valves during the inspiratory phase of a
breath. This manoeuvre can be used to determine the static
compliance (C) and the resistance (R).
Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation
Assisted Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation: a ventilation mode
that makes it possible to deliver only controlled ventilation (started by
the patient, the ventilator or the operator) on the basis of the current
settings.
International Standards Organization
Kilogramme (unit of weight).
Litre (unit of volume).
Litres per minute (unit of flow).
Parameter-based curve with respect to time
As defined by the international standards organizations, this is an
alarm that indicates a change in the patient-ventilator system. During
a low priority alarm, the corresponding yellow signal lights up and an
alarm message is displayed in the upper part of the screen.
Metre (unit of length).
All the operations necessary to maintain the equipment in working
order or to carry out cleaning, maintenance, repairs, modifications,
revisions and performance checks.
If the MANUAL key is pressed in PSV mode, the system delivers
pressure controlled ventilation to the patient.
Indication of the mean airways pressure
abnormal condition which requires immediate intervention to ensure
the safety of the patient. During a medium priority alarm, the
corresponding yellow signal flashes. A medium priority acoustic alarm
signal is emitted (a repeated series of three tones) and an alarm
message is displayed in the upper part of the screen.
Minute (unit of time).
Expired tidal volume normalized to the unit of time (L/min). The
system estimates the total minute volume on a 60 second basis or on
previous ventilations, whichever is the shorter. The value displayed
includes the compensation for compliance.
Millilitre (unit of volume).
