ΔPsupp The pressure support level in pressure support mode and is relative to PEEP or
Plow.
Tslope Controls pressure rise slope in pressure mode.
f The number of mechanically controlled breaths delivered to the patient in one
minute.
fapnea Breathing frequency set in apnea ventilation mode.
fSIMV Breathing frequency set in SIMV mode.
Thigh Available only in DuoLevel and APRV modes. Thigh is the time that the
ventilator will hold the high pressure level.
Tlow Available only in DuoLevel and APRV modes Tlow is the time that the ventilator
will hold the low pressure level.
Tinsp Time of inspiration in one breathing cycle.
F-Trig/P-Trig Pressure trigger and flow trigger included. When the trigger level is detected, the
ventilator starts to enter the inspiratory phase. When F-Trig is active, at the late
stage of exhalation the ventilator delivers a base flow from the inspiratory limb to
the expiratory limb. The base flow is essential for flow trigger. The ventilator
adjusts base flow from 2 to 20 L/min automatically to maintain PEEP and
establish baseline for patient triggering.
Δint.PEEP Available only in V-A/C mode. It indicates the positive end expiratory pressure
added in the sigh cycle, and is relative to PEEP.
Exp% Inspiratory termination level. The ventilator is switched to the expiratory phase
when the inspiratory flow drops to peak flow*Exp%. When the value of Exp% is
set to Auto, the IntelliCycle function is turned on.
Assist This parameter is available in V-A/C, P-A/C and PRVC modes to turn on or turn
off the assisted trigger function. When this function is turned on, the patient is
allowed to trigger mechanical ventilation at the end of expiration.
ATRC This parameter is available in all the ventilation modes except NIV to set the
ATRC function.
Monitored
parameter
Description
Ppeak The maximum pressure value in one breathing cycle.
Pplat The airway pressure during inspiratory pause.
Pmean The mean pressure value in one breathing cycle.
PEEP Positive end-expiratory pressure.
TVi The inspired tidal volume in one cycle.
