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.
2.3.8 Monitoring of Additional breathing parameters • Based on the lung 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.
Page 48
Expiratory peak flow Use the flow sensor installed on the expiratory line to measure the exhaled flow peak. At the beginning of the expiration, a flow peak arises in correspondence with the expiratory valve opening and it depends on the lung resistance and compliance This measure, just like the previous one, is not related to specific alarms thresholds, it only provides information on the ventilation status.
Page 49
Inspiratory resistance It is the parameter of the lung mechanics that describes the resistance to the opposite flow of the airways: measured in O/(l/s). The greater the patient resistance, the higher the airway pressure you need to apply to obtain the same volume. The formula used by the ventilator to calculate the inspiratory resistance is as follows: Ri = (peak pressure –...
