IPI
The Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) integrates four parameters and their interactions to
provide a numeric value indicating a patient's overall respiratory status. The integrated
parameters are etCO2, RR, SpO2, and PR. The additional status information provided by
IPI enables you to intervene before values of individual parameters reach levels of clinical
concern.
Note
IPI is available for adult patients as well as three groups of pediatric
patients (1–3 years, 3–6 years, and 6–12 years), but it is not available for
neonatal/infant patients.
Note Pediatric patient subtypes appear on the Patient Summary tab and on the
Home tab as a label in the IPI frame, but they do not appear in the Patient
frame.
Note IPI is available only with the Continuous Monitoring profile.
The range of IPI is 1–10. These values can be interpreted as indicated in the following
table.
Index range Patient status
10 Normal
8–9 Within normal range
7 Close to normal range; requires attention
5–6 Requires attention and may require intervention
3–4 Requires intervention
1–2 Requires immediate intervention

Note The interpretation of a patient's IPI value might change in different clinical
conditions. For example, patients who have a history of respiratory
difficulties might require a lower IPI Low Alert threshold that takes into
account their diminished respiratory capacity.
IPI frame
The IPI frame displays a numeric value from 1–10 as well as an alarm threshold and
control.
