Breathing Pressure Monitoring
Breathing Pressure Monitoring Windows
The breathing pressure monitoring windows show
the following breathing pressure information in
numeric and graphic form:
1 PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure)
shows the breathing pressure at the end of
exhalation in cmH
2O (hPa). The display range
is from 0 to 30 cmH
2O (0 to 30 hPa).
2PLAT (Plateau) Breathing Pressure shows the
breathing pressure at the end of inspiration in
cmH
2O (hPa). The display range is from
0to80cmH
2O (0 to 80 hPa)
or
2MEAN Breathing Pressure shows the average
of all the instantaneous pressure values
recorded during each breath in cmH2O (hPa).
The display range is from 0 to 50 cmH2O
(0 to 50 hPa).
3 PEAK Breathing Pressure shows the highest
instantaneous pressure value for each breath in
cmH
2O (hPa). The display range is from
0to80cmH2O (0 to 80 hPa).
4 Pressure High Alarm Limit
5 Pressure Threshold Alarm Limit
6 Breathing Pressure Trace Window displays a
breathing pressure trace (waveform).
7 Breathing Pressure Threshold Limit Line
8 Breathing Pressure Minimum and Maximum
Trace Scale Limits Indicator. Pressure mea-
surements are automatically scaled from
0to20, 0to50, or 0to100cmH
2O
(0 to 20, 0 to 50, or 0 to 100 hPa).
NOTE
The Fabius MRI can be configured by
DrägerService or your local authorized service
organization to display mean pressure (MEAN)
instead of plateau pressure (PLAT).
