25.9.5 Displaying the VCO2 and EE Numerics Areas
When the RM module is used together with the mainstream CO
2
 module, parameter display is as follows:
■ In the VCO
2 
parameter area, up to 6 parameters can be displayed. You can choose the parameters you want 
to display. For more information, see 25.9.8Selecting the Displayed VCO
2 Parameters
.
■ In the Vol, Flow or Paw numerics area, choose Vtalv and MValv.
When the RM module is used together with the sidestream CO
2
 module or AG module configured with the 
paramagnetic oxygen sensor, parameter display is as follows:
■  In the VCO
2 
parameter area, VCO
2
, MVCO
2
, VO
2
, MVO
2 
are displayed.
■ In EE parameter area, RQ and EE are displayed.
25.9.6 Preparing for VCO2 and Metabolic Monitoring
For more information, see 23.5.1Preparing to Measure CO
2 Using Sidestream CO2 Module
, 24.6Preparing for AG 
Monitoring, and 25.6Preparing for RM Monitoring.
• When monitoring dead space parameters (Vdalv, Vdalv/Vt, Vdphy, Vd/Vt) with the RM module and 
the mainstream CO
2
 Module, you need to enter the PaCO
2
 value.
• When the RM module is used together with the sidestream CO
2
 module or AG module configured 
with the paramagnetic oxygen sensor, CO
2 
waveform and Flow waveform needs aligning by self
learning. So you have to wait for about two minutes to get valid measurement.
25.9.7 Viewing V-CO
2
 Curve
When the RM module is used together with the mainstream CO
2
 module, you can view the V-CO
2 
curve from the 
Loops screen. For more information, see 25.7Respiratory Loops, 25.7.1Changing the Loop Type for details.
The V-CO
2 
curve displays the following items:
■ V-CO
2 
curve
■ MVCO
2
/MValv trend
■ parameter values
25.9.8 Selecting the Displayed VCO
2
 Parameters 
When the RM module is used together with the mainstream CO
2
 module, to select the parameters you want to 
display in the VCO
2 
parameter area, follow this procedure:
1. Select the VCO
2 
parameter area to enter the VCO
2 
menu.
2. From the VCO
2
 Tile area, select a parameter block, and then select a parameter from the Parameters area.
