psi Pounds per square inch.
psig Pounds per square inch gauge (above atmospheric pressure).
Proportional pressure ventilation see PPV.
Pt. Leak The leak resulting from leaks around the mask or from unintentional
leaks in the circuit. A monitored parameter shown when the intentional leak is
known.
Pt. Trig Percentage of patient-triggered breaths. Patient-initiated breaths as a
percentage of total breaths during the last 15 minutes.
Ramp Can be used to allow the patient to become accustomed to respiratory
ventilatory therapy over time. Ramp will allow the pressure to linearly increase
over a user-set period.
Rate (Respiratory Rate) Respiratory frequency, a control setting and monitored
parameter.
Resist. See Resistance
Resistance The pressure drop across a pneumatic device (i.e., bacteria filter,
patient circuit tubing) for a unit of flow when the volume of the device remains
constant, i.e., cmH
2
O/mL/sec.
Respiratory Rate (Rate) Respiratory frequency, a control setting.
Rise Time (Rise) The time required for a pressure-supported or pressure-
controlled breath to reach its target pressure, a control setting.
RS-232 Serial data communications protocol.
SIS Sleeve Indexed System (Australia). A connector for high-pressure gas inlet
fittings.
Spont indicator Denotes patient-initiated breathing.
Spontaneous breath A breath for which both the timing and volume are
controlled by the patient. That is, the patient both triggers and cycles the
breath.
Spontaneous/timed mode See S/T mode.
S/T mode Spontaneous/timed mode. A pressure support ventilation mode that
ensures patients receive a minimum number of breaths per minute if their
spontaneous breathing rate drops below the respiratory rate setting.
Standby Suspends ventilation and retains current settings when the clinician
wants to temporarily disconnect the patient from the ventilator.
