Tube compensation accounts for the breathing tube resistance providing the set pressure at the distal end. The tube type, length and ID are selectable.
The ventilator controls pressure breaths to reach the target pressure at the distal end of the breathing tube, showing waveforms for the airway and the distal tracheal pressures superimposed enabling better analysis and setting of the support level.
Tube compensation is available in all pressure modes and is not a limited mode with support only for SPONT breaths with 0 pressure support.
