2.4.7 Additional breathing parameters

Siaretron4000e
Based on the ventilator parameters set by the User and on the patient's
characteristics, the lung ventilator is able to monitor and measure a series
of values necessary for the patient's clinical evaluation.
The User can use the "Graphic" function (please see 2.6) to define a
display area for a series of additional respiratory parameters.
The data in the images below refer to VC/VAC operating mode with
standard PRP, and they are only informative, they do not refer to real
clinical cases (please see 4.8.14).
It shows the average calculated pressure for the airways: the
unit of measurement is cmH 2 O.
It shows the plateau pressure: the unit of measurement is
cmH 2 O.
The flow sensor installed on the inspiratory line measures the
maximum inhaled flow value (measured in L/min) and the value
is displayed on the screen.
It shows the duration of the patient's inspiratory phase: the unit
of measurement is second.
It shows the duration of the patient's inspiratory standby phase:
the unit of measurement is second.
It shows the duration of the patient's expiratory phase: the unit
of measurement is second.
It is one of the two parameters of the lung mechanics:
measured in ml/cmH 2 O.
The flow sensor installed on the expiratory line measures the
exhaled flow peak (measured in L/min) and the value is
displayed on the screen.
