Medical Calculators Ventilation Index   Calculate the ventilation index given ventilator rate, peak airway pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure, and PaCO2. Input Ventilator Respiratory Rate (bpm) Input Peak Inspiratory Pressure (torr) Input Positive End–Expiratory Pressure (torr) Input PaCO2 (torr)         Ventilation Index = The equation is: VI = RR * (PIP - PEEP) * PaCO2 1000
