Additional Respiratory Parameters - Siare Falco 202 User Manual

4.8.13 Additional respiratory parameters

By selecting the GRAPHIC setup function
using the encoder knob, the clinician can
select and edit the curves, loops and
additional parameters position.
4-34
Mean airways pressure
It shows the average calculated pressure for the airways: the
unit of measurement is cmH2O.
Pause pressure
It shows the pause pressure: the unit of measurement is
cmH O.
2
When the inspiratory pause activates, the ventilator maintains
the airway pressure constant (it maintains a pause pressure) for
a certain amount of time of the inspiratory time, defined by the
clinician (INSP PAUSE %). The static conditions allow the
ventilator to calculate the breathing mechanics parameters.
Inspiratory peak flow
Use the flow sensors installed on the inspiratory line to measure
that maximum inhaled flow value (measured in l/min) and to
view it on the screen. For this value there are no alarm limits but
it can be used to gather information on the ventilation status.
Inspiratory time
It shows the duration of the patient's inspiratory phase: the unit
of measurement is the second. This value represents the total
inspiratory time, and also includes the inspiratory pause period.
This value depends on the respiratory rate and I:E ratio
parameters. For example: if RATE = 15 and I:E=1:1 you will
have an inspiratory phase of 2 seconds
