Patient Spirometry loops and waveforms
Graphical flow and pressure waveforms and pressure-volume (Paw-Vol) and
flow-volume (Flow-Vol) loops enable immediate detection of changes in the patient’s
ventilatory status.
The Paw-Vol loop illustrates the dynamic relationship between pressure and volume.
The Flow-Vol loop indicates the relationship between flow and volume.

Normal Paw-Vol loop
The shape of the Paw-Vol loop depends on the patient’s respiratory status and the
ventilation mode used. The “normal” Paw-Vol loop appears if only a small pressure is
required before volume starts entering the lungs.
