The value displayed is the maximum measured pressure inside
the airways (cmH
The displayed value shows the positive pressure at the end of
the expiration: the measurement unit is cmH
The clinician can control if the ventilator is able to reach and
keep the PEEP pressure level set, using this value.
The displayed value shows the real respiratory rate (number of
breaths per time unit) taking into consideration for the
calculation any spontaneous activity.
It shows the ratio between the inspiration time and the
expiration time.
It shows the oxygen concentration value (as percentage)
inhaled by the patient.
The inhaled oxygen concentration value is read by the system
by means of the oxygen cell installed on the inspiratory line.
It shows the current volume value during patient's expiratory
phase: the unit of measurement is ml. The value is detected by
the flow sensor installed on the expiratory line.
It shows the volume value expired by the patient per minute :
the unit of measurement is L/min.
You can also calculate this value using the formula: current
volume (Vte) x respiratory rate (RR).
Key
The lung icon simulates the patient's lungs, graphically
displaying the respiratory cycle by alternatively switching the
lungs color (please see 2.6.6).
