Ventilator Waveforms: Interpretation

Types of Waveforms •Scalarsare waveform representations of pressure, flow or volume on the y axis vs time on the x axis •Loops are representations of pressure vs volume or flow vs volume

Basic Physics of Mechanical Ventilation

Peak pressure Plateau pressure Resisitive pressure; “Ohmic Resistance” Elastic pressure As soon as the flow stops, airway resistance falls and the pressure – formerly required to push air through the airway- drops to a plateau. Difference between this plateau and the peak pressure therefore must be the

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate - University of Glasgow

Peak expiratory flow is a simple and easy, yet essential diagnostic tool used to assess asthma severity. Peak flow is also an important measure of the effectiveness of treatment with bronchodilator therapy. Peak flow meters (EU/EN ISO standard) are handheld devices used to measure PEFR in the ambulatory setting. ...
