Vt Parameter Window Reference
The following table provides the options and ranges for the Vt window parameters:
PIP Parameter Window Options
The PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure) parameter window displays and/or controls airway
pressure. The breath target determines if the PIP value is a measurement or a control setting
(solid text). When PIP is a control setting, the user can adjust PIP from 10 to 80 cm H
2
0.
Note:
When the user attempts to set a PIP value greater than 60 cm H
2
O, a popup message
displays prompting for a confirmation before values above 60 cm H
2
0 are available.
During
pressure targeted
ventilation, the PIP parameter is displayed as solid text.
During
volume targeted
ventilation, the PIP primary parameter is a measurement and displays
as outlined text.
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is the baseline pressure maintained above
atmospheric pressure at the end of exhalation to prevent alveolar collapse and improve gas
exchange.
For
BL mode
, the ventilator provides noninvasive ventilation with the ability to manage the
patient by adjusting the IPAP and EPAP parameters. IPAP is adjustable from 6 to 60 cm H
2
O,
EPAP is adjustable from 3 to 30 cm H
2
O.

ventilation mode, the following secondary parameters are available.
•
High PIP Alarm Limit
