EasyCare Tx 2 automatically displays real-time therapy data from the connected therapy device in the titration window. The data displayed depends on the user preferences and therapy device that you selected. For instructions on selecting your preferred data, see Customize real-time data.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Mask P (Mask pressure) | Mask pressure (Mask P) is an estimate of the pressure delivered at the mask. |
Flow (Patient airflow) | Flow is an estimate of the patient airflow. It is derived by taking the total flow and then removing the leak and mask vent flow components. |
Leak | Leak is an estimate of the total rate of air escaping due to mouth and unintentional mask leaks. The correct mask setting is essential for accurate results. When patients sleep, a recommended leak lower than 24 L/min (0.4 L/sec) ensures correct device function, but a leak lower than 12 L/min (0.2 L/sec) is even more accurate. A large leak rate of greater than 24 L/min, or a rapidly fluctuating leak rate may affect the accuracy of other measurements. |
RR (Respiratory rate) | Respiratory rate (RR) is the frequency of breathing, expressed as the number of breaths per minute. |
Vt (Tidal volume) | Tidal volume (Vt) is the volume of air inspired or expired in one breath (or respiratory cycle). |
MV (Minute ventilation) | Minute ventilation (MV) is the estimated volume of air breathed in, or out, within any 60-second period. A typical minute ventilation range for adults is 5-12 L/min. |
TgMV (Target minute ventilation) | Target minute ventilation (TgMV) defines the minute ventilation the therapy device attempts to achieve in ASV therapy. Pressure support rises towards the maximum pressure support if the minute ventilation falls below this target, and decreases towards the minimum pressure support if it exceeds the target. |
Ti (Inspiratory time) | Inspiratory time (Ti) is the duration of inspiration (the respiratory flow into the lungs), expressed in seconds (a five-breath moving average). |
Pulse (Pulse rate) | Pulse rate is the number of heart beats in a 60-second time frame. The pulse rate is calculated by an attached oximeter. |
SpO2 | SpO2 is the saturation of blood hemoglobin with oxygen, expressed as a percentage. An attached oximeter calculates the pulse rate |
I:E | I:E defines the ratio of inspiratory time to expiratory time. |
