HME Heat-moisture exchanger (“artificial nose”).<br />
hPa Hectopascal (unit <strong>of</strong> pressure), approximately equal to<br />
1 cmH 2 O.<br />
Hz Hertz (unit <strong>of</strong> frequency), indicating cycles per second.<br />
I:E ratio The ratio <strong>of</strong> inspiratory time to expiratory time. On the<br />
760 Ventilator only, a ventilator setting that determines<br />
breath timing in PCV.<br />

INSP PAUSE Inspiratory pause, available on the 760 Ventilator only.<br />
Closes the exhalation valve at the end <strong>of</strong> the inspiratory<br />
phase <strong>of</strong> a mandatory breath until a stable plateau is<br />
reached (for a momentary pause), or for as long as you<br />
hold down the key (for an extended pause). Used to<br />
calculate patient’s compliance (for VCV or PCV<br />
mandatory breaths) and resistance (for VCV mandatory<br />
breaths).<br />
INSP<br />
PRESSURE<br />
Inspiratory pressure, available on the 760 Ventilator<br />
only. Defines the pressure above PEEP during the<br />
inspiratory phase <strong>of</strong> a PCV breath.<br />
INSP TIME Inspiratory time, available on the 760 Ventilator only.<br />
As a ventilator setting (selected using the MENU key),<br />
determines the breath timing <strong>of</strong> a PCV breath. As a<br />
