Note
Breath detection must be enabled for breath parameters to be calculated.
See System Setup for instructions on enabling breath detection.
Trend Press the TREND soft key to print the trend of a single parameter. See
Special Functions for a more description of the trend function
Clear Press the CLEAR soft key to reset the statistics and re-start the plot.
If asterisks appear for a parameter value, the parameter is either invalid for the current
breath detect mode or the system does not have sufficient information to accurately
calculate the parameter. For example, Base Flow is invalid during bi-directional breath
detection mode because the base flow is seen only in the inspiratory and expiratory limbs
of the ventilator circuit. In another example, it would be impossible to measure the
inspiratory hold pressure during the expiratory-only mode.
Note
The Assist Pressure (Assist) and the Minimum Pressure (Min Pres) are not
available for trending and cannot be added to other screens using the
parameter selection. Refer to Special Functions for instructions on Assist
Mode testing.
