19.1 Overview
The monitor measures respiratory mechanics by connecting the RM module with the flow sensor
to produce numerics and waveforms for flow, volume and pressure of respiratory gases in the
airway. The user can view the RM measurement result via connected CMS.
The measurement provides:
 Airway pressure (Paw), airway flow (Flow) and airway volume (Vol) waveforms.
 Numerics for:
–
PIP (peak inspiratory pressure)
–
Pplat (plateau pressure)
–
PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure)
–
Pmean (mean airway pressure)
–
PIF (peak inspiratory flow)
–
PEF (peak expiratory flow)
–
TVi (inspiratory tidal volume)
–
TVe (expiratory tidal volume)
–
MVi (inspiratory minute volume)
–
MVe (expiratory minute volume)
–
I:E (ratio of the inspiratory time and expiratory time)
–
Cdyn (dynamic compliance)
