18.4 Ventilation Calculations
18.4.1 Performing Calculations
To perform a ventilation calculation:
1. Select [Main Menu]→[Calculations >>]→[Ventilation >>], or select the [Calculations] QuickKey→
[Ventilation >>].
2. Enter values for calculation. If the monitor is connected to an anesthesia machine or a ventilator, the system
automatically loads the supported parameter values to the [Ventilation Calculation] window.
3. Select the [Calculate] button. The system performs a calculation per the current settings and displays the
calculated values.
If a calculated value is outside the range, its background will highlight in yellow. You can select [Range] to
view its normal range in the unit field.
Invalid values are displayed as [---].
