PIP xxx cmH2O
The Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) monitor displays the greatest pressure measured during the
inspiratory phase and the first 300 ms of exhalation 35 .
Monitored PIP data is measured and displayed at the completion of inspiration.
MAP xx cmH2O
The Mean Airway Pressure (MAP) monitor displays a running average of the airway pressure for the
last 60 seconds. MAP data is recalculated and displayed in 10 second intervals.
PEEP xx cmH2O
The Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) monitor displays the pressure in the patient circuit at
the completion of exhalation. PEEP data is displayed at the completion of exhalation.
f xxx bpm
The Total Breath Rate displays the breaths per minute based on the last 8 breaths, and includes all
breath types. Total Breath Rate is recalculated and updated at the end of each exhalation or every 20
seconds.
Vte xxx ml
The Exhaled Tidal Volume (Vte) monitor displays the tidal volume as measured at the patient wye.
Vte data is recalculated and displayed at the completion of every exhalation.
VE xx.x L
The Minute Volume (VE) monitor displays the exhaled tidal volume for the last 60 seconds as
calculated from the last 8 breaths. VE data is recalculated and displayed at the completion of every
exhalation or every 20 seconds, whichever occurs first.
I:E xx:xx
The I:E Ratio displays the unitless ratio between measured inspiratory time and measured exhalation
time. The smaller of the inspiratory and exhalation times is normalized to one. Both normal and
inverse I:E Ratios are displayed.
35
This is done to protect the patient, since often the highest pressure is obtained at the beginning of the
exhalation phase.
