19.6.4 Changing the Humidity of the Inspired and Expired Gas
1. Select RM Setup > Other Setups to open the Air Compensation window.
2.
Select the appropriate settings for the Fi Humidity and Et Humidity items.
19.7 RM Configuration
The following settings are accessible on the RM Setup menu.
19.7.1 Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay
This determines the time limit after which the monitor gives an alarm if the patient stops
breathing.
1.
Access the RM Setup menu.
2.
Choose the apnea alarm delay time from the Apnea Time drop-down list.
19.7.2 Selecting Measured Airway Volume Components
Users can select tidal volume (TV) or minute volume (MV) as the measured airway volume
component for display in the Vol parameter window:
1.
Access the RM Setup menu.
2.
Choose the item TV/MV and switch between TV and MV.
19.7.3 Changing the Respiration Mode
1. Access the RM Setup menu.
2.
Select a mode between Spontaneous and Mechanical from the Ventilation Mode
drop-down list.
19.7.4 Selecting Waveform
To select Flow or Vol waveform for display:
1.
Access the RM Setup menu.
2.
Choose the item Flow/Vol and switch between Flow and Vol.
19.8 Respiratory Loops
Respiratory loops can indicate a fault in the airway tubing and help physicians to detect
respiratory problems of patients.
The two types of loops are available in real time:
 F-V (flow-volume) loops: it illustrates the dynamic relation between flow and volume during
respiration and provides information about condition of the airway tubing.
 P-V (pressure-volume) loops: it reflects the dynamic relation between pressure and volume
as well as compliance of the respiratory system.
