Principles of operation
Monitoring of high-frequency ventilation
As in conventional ventilation, the waveforms for
pressure and flow are measured and can be
displayed. The following are measured specifically
for high-frequency ventilation:
2
DCO = VThf x f
2
Transport coefficient for CO , which, analogous to
2
the minute volume in conventional ventilation, is a
measure of high-frequency ventilation.
VThf
Tidal volume of the high-frequency pulses,
averaged over multiple cycles
MVim
Minute volume applied by IMV breaths, measured
on the inspiratory side
VTim
Tidal volume applied by IMV breaths, measured on
the inspiratory side
