Units of measure
Air and oxygen pressures are indicated on the HAMILTON-G5
in cmH2O or mbar. Hectopascals (hPa) are used by some insti-
tutions instead. Since 1 mbar equals 1 hPa, which equals
1.016 cmH2O, the units may be used interchangeably.
CO
2
measurements are indicated in mmHg, Torr, and kPa.
These units are user configurable.
SpO
2
measurements are indicated in %.
