Patient Counter<br />
Counter of ventilation time for the patient.<br />
Patient effort<br />
Inspiratory effort initiated by the patient.<br />
Patient circuit<br />
Tubing between the ventilator and the patient.<br />
Pause<br />
Waveforms freezing function.<br />
PAW (Peak Airway Pressure)<br />
Glossary<br />
The Peak Airway Pressure is the average peak pressure during the inspiratory phase, measured by<br />
each cycle and over the previous 24 hour period.<br />
Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)<br />
The highest pressure measured in the patient circuit during the inspiration phase.<br />
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)<br />
Pressure in the patient circuit at the end of expiration.<br />
Pressure Control (P Control)<br />
Augmentation of the patient's ventilation synchronously with inspiratory effort until a preset<br />
pressure is met. Pressure is maintained throughout patient inspiratory flow, and is cycled to<br />
expiration by time (controlled by the selected Inspiratory Time setting). Used in Assist/Control<br />
mode.<br />
Pressure Support (P Support)<br />
Augmentation of the patient’s ventilation synchronously with inspiratory effort until a preset<br />
pressure is met. Pressure is maintained until inspiratory flow is reduced to a percentage of peak<br />
flow that depends on the exhalation sensitivity setting for the inspiration, when the ventilator<br />
cycles into exhalation. Available in SIMV or Spontaneous modes.<br />
PSI<br />
Pounds Per Square Inch.<br />
PSV (Pressure Support Ventilation)<br />
Pressure support ventilation.<br />
Rebreathing<br />
The patient breathes his/her exhaled gas.<br />
Respiration rate<br />
The number of breath cycles (inspiration + expiration) completed within one minute. Normal<br />
resting adult respiratory rates are from 12 – 20 breaths per minute (bpm).<br />
Rise Time<br />
This determines how the target pressure will be reached, and indirectly defines the minimum<br />
inspiration time.<br />
