Loops (Optional)
To display the loops screen:
Figure 83. Loops Key on Standard Screen• Press the >Loops< soft key on the standard
screen.
The P/V loop and the Flow/Vol loop are displayed on
the screen in place of the two lower curves (refer to
Figure 84). Each loop remains displayed for three
breathing cycles; the color intensity of the loop
decreases with each cycle.
The scale of the Pressure and Flow axes depends on
the scale selected for the real-time pressure and flow
curves. The Volume axis for both loops is the same
as the scale in the V
T/PAW module.
See the “Configuration” chapter for more information
on scale configuration.
