Glossary
event log A record of clinically relevant ventilator occurrences,
including alarms, setting changes, calibrations, maneu-
vers, and special functions since the ventilator was
powered on. The HAMILTON-G5 has three event logs:
a Settings log, an Alarms log, and an All events log.
Exp Flow Peak expiratory flow, a monitored parameter.
ExpMinVol Expiratory minute volume, a monitored parameter and
alarm setting. In the Vent Status panel, ExpMinVol is the
percentage of normal minute ventilation, based on IBW.
extended battery
pack
An optional, hot-swappable “smart” battery on the
HAMILTON-G5, which extends the backup capability of
the standard internal battery.
f Respiratory rate.
FCO
2
Fractional concentration of CO
2.
fcombi A parameter trend setting including both fControl and
fSpont.
fControl Mandatory breathing frequency, a monitored parameter
in ASV mode.
FetCO
2
Fractional end-tidal CO
2
concentration, a monitored
parameter.
FiO
2
Fraction of inspired oxygen.
FlowPattern Flow pattern, a control setting.
Flowtrigger Flow trigger sensitivity, a control setting.
FRC Functional residual capacity, the volume in the lungs at
the end-expiratory position.
%fSpont Spontaneous breath percentage, a monitored parameter
in the Vent Status panel only.
fSpont Spontaneous breathing frequency, a monitored parame-
ter.
fTotal Total breathing frequency, a monitored parameter. The
moving average of the patient’s total breathing frequency
over the past 8 breaths.
