P/V Tool for more intelligent patient assessment

The automated P/V Tool uses an empirical and repeatable method to find best PEEP, based on respiratory mechanics.
It also enables sophisticated lung recruitment maneuvers and therapy assessment.

This maneuver records the static pressure/volume curve quickly and easily at the bedside. It employs an adjustable pressure ramp, in which airway pressure is slowly increased to an upper limit as resultant volume and pressure are recorded.

After the maneuver, the cursor function lets you inspect inflection points so that you can easily visualize the linear portion of the compliance curve.

P/V Tool is available on the HAMILTON-G5 and GALILEO Gold ventilators from HAMILTON MEDICAL.
