Monitor Range Description
I:E Ratio
9.9:1 to
1:9.9
The I:E Ratio monitor displays the average ratio between inspiratory and exhalation time
over the last 8 breaths.
Leak
0 to 200
L/min
The Leak monitor displays the ow of gas leaking during each breath in L/min.
MAP
0 to 50
cmH2O
Mean Airway Pressure. The MAP monitor displays the average pressure delivered
throughout the breath period of the last eight breaths.
Minute Volume
0 to 60 L The Minute Volume monitor displays the calculated volume of air delivered to the patient
over one minute, based on the average breath rate and Vte (for active circuits) or Estimated
Vte (for passive and valveless circuits) of the last eight breaths.
Patient Effort
N/A The patient effort icon appears on the left side of the airway pressure manometer in the
status bar when V*Home delivers a patient-triggered breath.
NOTE: Ventec Life Systems recommends periodically verifying that the Patient Effort
indicator in the status bar appears in synchrony with actual patient effort to breathe.
Patient Triggered
0 to 100% The Patient Triggered monitor displays the percentage of the last 100 breaths that were
initiated by the patient.
Peak Exh Flow
0 to 200
L/min
Peak Exhalation Flow. Measures the maximum expiratory ow during exhalation.
Peak Insp Flow
0 to 200
L/min
Peak Inspiratory Flow. Measures the maximum inspiratory ow during inhalation.
PEEP
0 to 45
cmH2O
Positive End Expiratory Pressure. The PEEP monitor displays the pressure maintained
between breaths (from the end of exhalation).
NOTE: During Bi‑Level ventilation, the EPAP monitor is in use, instead.
PIP
0 to 85
cmH2O
Peak Inspiratory Pressure. The PIP monitor displays the maximum pressure delivered during
the last breath.
