ESPIRATORY MECHANICS
Quick Reference Table: Paw and Vent Setup
Click on the following menu items to execute setup functions.
Function Description Settings
PAW Setup Menu
Respiratory
Mechanics
Displays a list of continuously updated
ventilator parameters.
See page 21-16 for complete list of
associated parameters.
PV Loop Displays the pressure/volume loop. Not applicable
Paw Scale Sets or changes the size of the
currently displayed pressure (Paw)
waveform.
10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100,
and 120 cmH20 (upper values)
The monitor automatically sets the
lower waveform value to zero.
Purge Sensor Purges the sensor tubing of water
condensation and patient secretions
(see page 21-8).
NOTES: Pressure and flow
parameters are frozen and no
waveforms are drawn during purging.
Not applicable
PIP Alarm Opens the Alarm Limits table
beginning at the PIP setting.
Not applicable
Mech/Spon
Threshold
Sets the pressure level used to
distinguish spontaneous breathing
from mechanical breathing.
0 - 50 cmH2O
NOTE: The Mech/Spon threshold item may require adjustment based on the patient’s PIP value for
pressure support ventilator modes. If adjustment is not made, all breaths will be considered
mechanical. The appropriate level for the threshold depends on the ventilator.
Gas
Compensation
Informs the monitor of ventilation gas
being used. See page 19-12 for more
information on gas compensation.
