Lung INview (available with SpiroDynamics
and FRC INview)
Note: Not available when Neonatal patient type is selected
• Integrates SpiroDynamics and FRC INview within the
PEEP INview procedure
• Measures the amount of volume between the Dynostatic
curves at each FRC measurement
• Estimate of recruitment volume
INview Vent Calculations (optional)
Note: Not available when Neonatal patient type is selected
Data from Engström Care station and external lab results are
used to provide the following values:
• PAO
2
– Alveolar partial pressure of oxygen
• AaDO
2
–Alveolar arterial oxygen difference
• Pa/FiO
2
– Oxygenation index
• PaO
2
/PAO
2
– Alveolar arterial oxygen pressure difference
• CO – Cardiac output
• Vd/Vt – Dead space ventilation
• Vd – Dead space volume
• VA – Alveolar ventilation

Data source: Ventilator or Compact Airway Module*
(M-COV, M-COVX, M-CAiOV, M-CAiOVX; E-COV,
E-COVX, E-CAiOV, E-CAiOVX)
Loop types: Pressure-Volume, Pressure-Flow and
Flow-Volume
Saved loop: Up to six loops can be saved
Reference loop: A saved loop can be selected as the reference
loop to compare with the current loop
being displayed
Cursor: Freezes current loops and provides numeric
display of X and Y axis as cursor moves
across loops
