7.14 Lung Mechanics and Measurement Panel
This panel displays the measured and calculated ventilation parameters. When
no flow sensor is fitted only non flow based values are displayed. The panels
shown display the parameters for each ventilation mode.
Note: For CMV the IE ratio is replaced with measured Ti when TTV is on.
Ti Meas.
The measured inspiratory time, where the breath may be flow or volume
terminated and therefore shorter than the set inspiratory time. A measured value.
Trigger
The number of patient triggered breaths (updated every 2 seconds). A measured
value.
IE Ratio
Inspiratory to Expiratory ratio. A calculated value derived from the user set
inspiratory time against the time divided by the user set BPM minus the
inspiratory time.
BPM Tot
Total number of breaths detected by the ventilator. (Mechanical and patient
triggered). A measured value.
Vte (ml)
Expired volume. A measured value in millilitres.
