Müse Parameter Descriptions282Respiratory RateThe Respiratory Rate parameter is used to set the respiratory rate to a given number of breaths perminute. Once set, arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values have no effect on the resulting respiratoryrate, but continue to influence other components of the physiological models. The patient continues tobreathe at the set number of breaths per minute, regardless of the arterial oxygen or carbon dioxidelevels.For example, when the respiratory rate is set to 10 breaths per minute, the respiratory rate remains at 10breaths per minute, regardless of arterial oxygen or carbon dioxide levels. In such situations, the patientcan only respond to arterial oxygen or carbon dioxide levels by adjusting the Tidal Volume parameter.Default: ModeledRange: 4 breaths per minute - 40 breaths per minuteBronchial Resistance Factor: LeftBronchial Resistance Factor: RightAlveolar EnfluraneFraction of Inspired EnfluraneAlveolar HalothaneFraction of Inspired HalothaneAlveolar IsofluraneFraction of Inspired IsofluraneAlveolar Nitrous OxideFraction of Inspired Nitrous OxideAlveolar SevofluraneFraction of Inspired SevofluraneRespiratory Parameters – Additional
