Objectives:
• Introduction
• Why We Need To Know About The Ventilator Graphics ?
• Types Of Waveforms
• Types Of Breath
• Normal And Abnormal Waveforms
Introduction:
Monitoring and analysis of graphic display of curves and
loops during mechanical ventilation has become critical to
determine how patient is being ventilated to assess
problems occurring during ventilation.

The more vertical the loop
lays, the higher the lung
compliance, the more
horizontal it lays, the lower
the lung compliance. Thus
slope of the line equals
compliance.
The fatter the loop, the
higher the airway
resistance…you can tell if
it’s I or E resistance by
looking at whether the
right or left side bulges out
