Reading the pressure waveform (Paw)
Different points on the waveform are instantaneous values for measured
pressures. The horizontal axis indicates the time scale for the rate, I:E ratio, and
inspiratory pause (volume control setting). The vertical axis indicates the
pressure.
Scales
The display automatically adjusts time and pressure scales to fit the control
settings.
The time scale changes with the set Rate:
• 25 or less breaths per minute - time scale is 0 to 16 seconds
• 26 to 75 breaths per minutes - time scale is 0 to 8 seconds
• 76 or more breaths per minutes - time scale is 0 to 4 seconds
• On a change, existing pressure data is erased and new waveform data
starts at time = 0
The pressure scale changes with the Plimit setting:
• 12 to 40 Plimit, y-axis range is -5 to 40
• 41 to 60 Plimit, y-axis range is -5 to 60
• 61 to 100 Plimit, y-axis range is -5 to 100
• When the pressure scale changes, existing pressure data is erased and
new waveform data starts at time = 0
