29Respiratory Loops
Using a VueLink module connected to a ventilator, you can measure and store graphic representations
of realtime respiratory loops. Respiratory loops can help you recognize changes in your patient’s lung
function , and they can also indicate a fault in the airway tubing (for example, if the respiratory loop
does not close).
You can measure:
• Pressure-volume loops
•Pressure-flow loops
•Volume-flow loops.
Note that you cannot store loops from different patients and different source devices in the same list as
they are patient and device specific.This prevents you from inadvertently comparing information from
different patients.
Viewing Loops
In the loops display, the current loop is drawn in white, and up to six stored loops are color-coded to
match their timestamps. The currently-used source device is shown in the window title.
To view respiratory loops permanently on your Screen,
♦ select the current Screen name to open the Change Screen menu, then select a Screen
configured to display the loops screen element.
Select the loops screen element to access the loops pop-up keys.
