ESPIRATORY MECHANICS
You can display values for any three of the following parameters in the respiratory
mechanics parameter boxes:
Additional Display Parameters
To display a list of derived respiratory mechanics parameters
1. Click on the parameter box labeled Paw or Vent,
or
Use the
Menu fixed key to access the Paw or Vent setup menu (page 21-11).
2. Click on
Respiratory Mechanics. A read-only list of parameters appears:
Selecting Additional Display Parameters
The Respiratory Mechanics menu parameters display varies according to the View
control key setting and the sensor you use.

NOTES:
• For associated units of measure and derivations, see page 21-16.
• Respiratory Mechanics parameters are automatically added to the Alarm Limits table when you
connect the etCO
2
/Respiratory Mechanics pod.
• Only PIP, PEEP, and MVe are in the Alarm Limits table.
