  MV	Minute Volume - The product of the tidal volume and the respiratory rate, calculated on a breath-by-breath basis	mL/min	X	X
  RI	The Resistance to air moving in and out of the lung	cmH2O*secs/mL	X	X
  Cdyn	The dynamic compliance of the lung	mL/cm H2O	X	X
  Cstatic	The static compliance of the lung	mL/cm H2O		X
