7 Monitoring
I:E Monitoring 1 Inspiratory:expiratory ratio. Ratio of the
patient’s inspiratory to expiratory time. This
includes both mandatory and spontaneous
breaths. I:E may differ from the set I:E ratio if
the patient breathes spontaneously.
Insp Flow
(l/min)
Monitoring 1 Peak inspiratory flow, spontaneous or mechan-
ical.
HLI Monitoring 2 Heart-Lung Interaction Index is a value for the
variation of the plethysmogram amplitude
which reflects how much ventilation interacts
with hemodynamics. High variation means high
interaction. For details, see the INTELLiVENT
®
-
ASV manual.
MinVol NIV
(l/min)
Monitoring 1 Expiratory minute volume. The moving average
of the monitored expiratory volume per
minute, over the last 8 breaths.
Used only in Noninvasive modes (NIV, NIV-ST,
nCPAP-PS), this parameter replaces ExpMinVol,
as it is leak compensated.
MVLeak Monitoring 1 Total minute volume leakage. MVLeak shows
VLeak x frequency (breath rate).
MV Spont
(ml)
Monitoring 1 Spontaneous expiratory minute volume. The
moving average of the monitored expiratory
volume per minute for spontaneous breaths,
over the last 8 mandatory and spontaneous
breaths.
In Noninvasive modes (NIV, NIV-ST, nCPAP-PS),
MV Spont is replaced by MV Spont NIV.
