7.6.1 Parameters monitoring

The picture shows parameters referred to APCV-TV operative modality
and they have the mere purpose of being an example and they do not
make any reference to real clinical cases.
PAW (cmH O)
2
Airways pressure
PEEP (cmH2O)
Positive expiratory
airways pressure
7-36
The measurement of airways pressure in cmH
different ways.
•
Through the lighting bar indicator (with scale from – 20 to + 80
cmH O ) which displays in real-time the airways pressure.
2
•
Through the numeric indication reporting the peak value
measured and reached by the airways during the ventilation
phase.
For a better detection of abnormalities on the
airways pressure, it is suggested to set the value
of: PAW HIGH is 10 cmH2O over peak pressure
reached by the patient and the PAW LOW value
at 5 cmH2O.
In such way any obstruction of patient airways or
any leak in patient circuit, it is probably
immediately detected by the ventilator.
It indicates the end expiration positive pressure: the measuring unit
is the cmH O.
2
Through this value, the user can check if the ventilator is able to
reach and maintain the level of PEEP pressure set.
O is displayed in two
