Ex Hold Time of the End Expiratory State
Ratio I:E Ratio of the inspiratory time to the Expiratory
Time
IPP Average pressure during the End Inspiratory
State
PEEP Average pressure during the End Expiratory
State
MAP Mean pressure over the entire breath
PIP Maximum pressure during the Inspiratory Time
Tidal Vol Total volume accumulated over the Inspiratory
Time
Minute Vol Expiratory Tidal Volume times the respiratory
rate in breaths per minute; reported as an eight-
breath average
PIF Maximum of the absolute value of the Flow Rate
measured during the Inspiratory Time
PEF Maximum of the absolute value of the Flow Rate
measured during the Expiratory Time
N/A Expiratory Tidal Volume divided by the difference
of the Inspiratory Hold Pressure and PEEP
