P0.1
(cmH2O
Monitoring 1
NOTE:
Due to changes in pneumatic imped-
ance, P0.1 values can vary with different
settings of the Trigger function.
Airway occlusion pressure. The maximal slope
of the airway pressure drop during the first 100
ms when the airway is occluded. P0.1 indicates
the patient’s respiratory drive and efforts. It
applies to patient-triggered breaths with pres-
sure trigger only.
A P0.1 value of -3 cmH2O indicates a strong
inspiratory effort, and a value of -5 cmH2O, an
excessive effort, possibly because the patient is
“air hungry” (peak inspiratory flow or total
ventilatory support is inadequate), or has an
excessive drive
If P0.1 is below -3 cmH2O:
• Increase pressure or volume settings
(depending on mode)
• Increase %MinVol if in manual mode
• Shorten P-ramp time
PEEP/CPAP
(cmH2O)
Monitoring 1 Monitored PEEP/CPAP. The airway pressure at
the end of exhalation.
Measured PEEP/CPAP can differ slightly from
set PEEP/CPAP, especially in actively breathing
patients.
