The PBW value displayed here forms the basis
for all values for ventilatory parameters
recommended in this window.
The estimated PBW may be displayed
alongside the patient category symbol in the
top left corner depending on the setting in the
Screen layout window. See section Screen
layout on page 163.
When PBW is shown, the figure is used as the
basis of an estimated parameter, set VT/PBW,
displayed among estimated parameters in the
ventilation mode window and in the additional
ventilation settings for the following ventilation
modes:
• Volume Control (VC)
• Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC)
• SIMV (VC) + PS
It also forms the basis of a measured value,
expired VT/PBW, found on the selected page
of Measured values when the system is
running. See section Ventilation measurements
on page 104.
This measured value is also trended, see
section Page information on page 161.
