Sigh Feature
The sigh feature is available for Volume ventilation modes only.
When the sigh feature is enabled, the ventilator delivers a sigh breath
in place of every 100th mandatory or assisted breath delivered
regardless of the mode of operation (i.e., AC, CV, and SIMV). The Sigh
breath is delivered using a volume equal to 150% of the set volume
that was in effect when the breath was initiated.
