Mechanics of the spontaneous breathing cycle (Part 1). a) Screenshot of tab DATA 1 showing baseline values of airway resistance (Raw), lung elastance (EL), and chest wall elastance (ECW), the values of the flow signals: flow (V̇), volume (V), and alveolar (Palv), pleural (Ppl), transpulmonary (PL) and muscular (Pmus) pressures. b) Screenshot of tab FIG 2 showing the time course of the signals for baseline parameters (dashed lines) and when Raw was increased from 2 cmH2O·s·L–1 to 10 cmH2O·s·L–1 (solid lines). Orange cells allow students to change of their numerical values. See text for explanation.

Mechanical ventilation (Part 2). a) Screenshot of tab FIG 2 showing the simulated signals of flow, volume and airway opening (Pao) and alveolar (Palv) pressures during mechanical ventilation. Dashed and solid lines correspond to the baseline respiratory parameters and when respiratory resistance (Raw) was increased from 2 cmH2O·s·L–1 to 5 cmH2O·s·L–1, respectively. b) Screenshot of tab FIG 6 showing the simulated signals of flow, volume and Pao provided by a conventional ventilator during an end-expiratory occlusion manoeuvre to monitor the patient's respiratory mechanics. Orange cells allow students to change of their numerical values. MV: minute ventilation; f: respiratory rate; Ti: inspiratory time. See text for explanation.
