Abstract

Respiratory waveforms are helpful for respiratory therapist in getting the real-time changes of respiratory mechanics and dynamically adjusting ventilator parameters.Pressure-time curve is the most common waveform of ventilator.Correctly grasp the pressure-time curve is important for clinicians.The clinical appfication of pressure-time curve in the different conditions of mechanical ventilation were reviewed.
