Glossary
Definitions
Airway Pressure the pressure in the patient circuit, measured at the distal end 
of the exhalation filter.
Baseline as in baseline pressure. The pressure at end exhalation.
Baud serial transmission speed usually bits/second.
Bias flow a continuous flow of gas used during expiratory phase when flow 
triggering is active.
Bit binary digit.
Compliance a measure of stiffness for containers that hold gas (i.e. lungs, 
patient tubing). The volume required to increase the pressure in the container 
by a unit of pressure (i.e., L/cmH
2
O (hPa)).
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) a mode of ventilator operation that 
allows the patient to breath spontaneously from a continuous-flow or demand 
valve at an elevated airway pressure. (same as CAP)
E-Cycle The E-Cycle setting on the ventilator determines when the ventilator 
will transition from inspiration to expiration in PSV and NPPV modes. E-Cycle 
defines the percent of peak inspiratory flow that end inspiratory flow needs to 
drop to in order for inspiration to end.
End Expiratory Pressure (End Exp) the airway pressure measured at the end of 
exhalation. The display is updated at the end of each exhalation.
Expiratory phase (exhalation) the part of the ventilatory cycle from the 
beginning of expiratory flow to the beginning of inspiratory flow.
Flow Trigger initiation of inspiration when the patients inspiratory effort 
exceeds the flow sensitivity setting (threshold).
Indicator a light, usually light emitting diode (LED).
Inspiration:Exhalation Ratio (I:E ratio) a standard I:E ratio. It is displayed as 
XX:1 when exhalation period is larger than the inhalation period. It is displayed 
as 1:XX when inhalation period is larger than the exhalation period.
Inspiratory phase (inspiration) the part of the ventilatory cycle from the 
beginning of inspiratory flow to the beginning of expiratory flow. Any inspiratory 
pause (plateau) is included in the inspiratory phase.
Inspiratory time inspiratory time (expressed in seconds) is the duration of 
inspiration during mechanical ventilation. As inspiratory time increases, mean 
airway pressure increases and the I:E ratio becomes lower.
