Operation
PAW
PINSP
Freq
A tidal volume is supplied based on a defined
respiratory rate (Freq) and a defined ratio of
inspiratory time to expiratory time (TI:TE).
This tidal volume is dependent on the set
inspiratory pressure (PINSP) and from the patient
compliance. The parameter Insp Flow is used to
set the increase of the slope of the pressure
waveform. In addition, a positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP) can be set.
The lower alarm limit of the airway pressure (PAW
low) is used for the airway pressure monitoring to
detect apnea (disconnection) and continuous
pressure.
If the pressure waveform does not cross the
pressure threshold either from above or below, an
alarm is sounded.
