Extended respiratory monitoring includes
Stress index is an indicator of the correct choice of PEEP and the inspiration volume Vt. Its deviation from “1” shows non-optimal choice of ventilation parameters.
RSBI (rapid shallow breathing index) indicates the adequacy of spontaneous ventilation under pressure support (CPAP with PS) and is used to assess patient‘s readiness for weaning from respiratory support. AutoPEEP monitoring. In some cases, the selection of parameters for effective and safe ventilation without AutoPEEP monitoring is not possible, e.g. for patients with bronchial obstruction and an increased time constant. Pramp — rate of inspiratory pressure rise. Setting up Pramp allows adapting the device to the respiratory needs of the patient.
