Getinge Maquet FLOW-i 4.2

Inspiratory hold
≥ 5s
Typical appearance of waveforms during
inspiration hold (volume control). Note the lack
of flow when the feature is active (gray).
Inspiratory hold provides measurements of
the following metrics:
- Static compliance (Cstat)
- Elastance (E)
- Time Constant (Tc)
- "PEEP" and "Pplat" (patient airway pause
pressure) are periodically updated during
inspiratory hold
- Expiratory resistance (Re)
The inspiratory hold function times out after
40 seconds, after which ventilation resumes.
Expiratory hold
≥ 5s
Typical appearance of waveforms during
expiration hold (volume control). Note the lack
of flow when the feature is active (gray).
Expiratory hold provides measurements of the
following metrics:
- Static compliance (Cstat)
- Elastance (E)
- Total PEEP (PEEPtot)
- "PEEP" is periodically updated during
expiratory hold
The expiratory hold function times out after
60 seconds, after which ventilation resumes.
