Figure 52 – Oxygen Supply Flow for Desired % of Oxygen Enrichment without PEEP

When PEEP is added, it changes the mixing of oxygen with air.

Use the chart in Figure 52when the patient is ventilated without
PEEP; use the chart in Figure 53 in the presence of PEEP. Data in
the chart in Figure 53 are taken at an I:E ratio of 1:2. Different
I:E ratios may slightly affect the Desired % of Oxygen
Enrichment when PEEP is in use.
