Inspiratory Pressure
You can increase or decrease the Inspiratory Pressure setting from
4 to 50 cm H
O in increments of 1. This is the pressure the ventilator
2
will deliver during the inspiratory phase of a mandatory or assist
breath.
Pressure Support
You can increase or decrease the Pressure Support setting from
0 to 30 cm H
O in increments of 1. This is the pressure support
2
the ventilator will deliver during the inspiratory phase of a
Spontaneous breath.
PEEP
The Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) setting can be increased
from 0 to 25 cm H
O in active circuits and 4 to 25 cm H
2
circuits, in increments of 1. PEEP is the positive pressure maintained
in the patient circuit during exhalation. The PEEP must be less than or
equal to the pressure setting.
Flow Pattern
You can choose either Ramp or Square for the Flow Pattern setting.
Sigh
You can enable or disable the Sigh setting by selecting On or Off. A
Sigh is a breath that is delivered every 100 breaths at 150% of the
normal volume.
Trilogy100 clinical manual
Note: In PC-SIMV mode, you
cannot set up Pressure Support
for Mandatory and Assist
breaths (Pressure - PEEP) greater
than 30 cm H
Note: The Pressure Support and
PEEP settings together cannot
exceed 50 cm H
O in passive
2
Note: The Low Inspiratory
Pressure is limited to PEEP +2 in
CV, AC, and SIMV modes.
Note: The Flow Pattern setting
might be limited to only Ramp
or Square based on the Tidal
Volume, Inspiratory Time, and
Breath Rate settings to maintain
the minimum and maximum
peak flows.
Note: Flow Cycle Sensitivity is
not available in AC mode.
