inspiration/total delivered inspiratory volume) x 100
The total volume delivered during inspiration to
compensate for the leak
Leak rate during exhalation at PEEP
Calculated value using exhaled spontaneous tidal volume.
High values generally indicate the patient is breathing
rapidly but with low tidal volumes.
Change in pressure per unit change in flow
Result of dividing the delivered tidal volume by the peak
airway pressure
Ratio of compliance of the last 20% of inspiration to the
compliance of the entire inspiration
Exhaled volume of the previous breath, measured by the
