RE: Understanding sleep report terms
I'll take a stab at it gleaned from other forums:
VT = Tidal Volume RR = Average respiratory rate during the selected period MV = Average minute ventilation during the selected period TgMV = Target minute ventilation .. Minute ventilation the device is attempting to achieve Happy Pappin' Never Give In, Never Give Up INFORMATION ON APNEA BOARD FORUMS OR ON APNEABOARD.COM SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS MEDICAL ADVICE.

RE: Understanding sleep report terms
Also, you will find that MV = VT x RR
example. VT = 500 ml (0.5 Liters) and RR = 15 per minute MV = 0.5 x 15 = 7.5 Liters per minute Admin Note:
