5 Measurements
5.1 Expiratory plateau
The
[Exp. Plat]
key is used to create an expiratory pause (limited to 60 seconds). The pause continues
as long as the user holds down the button. As soon as the user stops pressing the button, the ventila-
tor resumes normal ventilation.
Note:
A curve freeze can be applied in order to measure the autoPEEP value via the cursors
(See Display of pressure and flow rate curves on page 49).
5.2 Inspiratory plateau
The
[Insp.Plat]
button is used to create an inspiratory pause (limited to 40 seconds). The pause contin-
ues as long as the user holds down the button. As soon as the user stops pressing the button, the ven-
tilator resumes normal ventilation.
Note:
A curve freeze can be applied in order to measure the Pplat pressure value via the cur-
sors (See CO2 Option on page 43).
5.3 [R&C stat] key
Calculated patient resistance and compliance values consist of selectively or periodically evaluating
resistance (in cmH2O/L/s) of the patient’s airways, along with their pulmonary compliance (in mL/
cmH2O). Changes in these measurements over time may provide information about the patient’s con-
dition (lessening of compliance, beneficial effect of a bronchodilator, etc.)
The result is shown on the monitoring pad and in the trends, and in a window which is displayed at the
end of the selective measurement.
