Vent Status panel An Intelligent Panel that visualizes six parameters related
to the patient’s ventilator dependency, including oxygen-

elimination, and patient activity.
ventilator breath-
ing system (VBS)
A breathing system bounded by the low-pressure gas
input port(s), the gas intake port(s), and the patient
connection port, together with the fresh-gas inlet and
exhaust port(s), if fresh-gas inlet or exhaust ports are
provided, as described in EN 794-1.
Ventilation Cockpit The graphical user interface or interaction panel of the
HAMILTON-G5.
ventilation unit The HAMILTON-G5 that contains the pneumatics (with-
out the Ventilation Cockpit).

volume, a monitored parameter.
VIP Ventilator interface processor.
VLeak Leakage volume, a monitored parameter.
volume control Maintenance of a consistent inspiratory volume wave-
form despite changing respiratory system mechanics,
using feedback control with the volume signal.
Vpeep PEEP volume, a calculated value, displayed when
performing a zero-PEEP maneuver in P/V Tool. Volume
related to the pressure difference between PEEP and ZEEP.
VRC Ventilator real-time controller.
Vt Tidal volume, a control setting and an alarm setting.
