RR or f - respiratory rate (number of breath per minute) Vt - Tidal volume (the amount of air sent to the lungs during one inhale) Ve - Minute Ventilation (Volume received in a minute) V_dot - Flow (air flow) Ti - inspiratory time [seconds] Te - expiratory time [seconds] TCT - Total Cycle time (Ti+Te) I:E - inspiration : expiration ratio V_dot = Vt / Ti x 60 [L/min] Ve = Vt x RR TCT = Ti + Te RR = 60/TCT I:E = 1 : Te/Ti = Ti : Te = Ti/(TCT - Ti) = Ti / (60/RR -Ti) = 1 : (60/(RR x Ti) -1)
RR or f - respiratory rate (number of breath per minute)
Vt - Tidal volume (the amount of air sent to the lungs during one inhale)
Ve - Minute Ventilation (Volume received in a minute)
V_dot - Flow (air flow)
Ti - inspiratory time [seconds]
Te - expiratory time [seconds]
TCT - Total Cycle time (Ti+Te)
I:E - inspiration : expiration ratio
V_dot = Vt / Ti x 60 [L/min]
Ve = Vt x RR
TCT = Ti + Te
RR = 60/TCT
I:E = 1 : Te/Ti = Ti : Te = Ti/(TCT - Ti) = Ti / (60/RR -Ti) = 1 : (60/(RR x Ti) -1)
Please make more videos on ventilation and critical care related topics...your videos are very useful.
Always good to go back to the basics 👌
Thank you
Thanks for the information it helped me
This is GREAT!!!!!
Thank you
