With a constant flow (1), the delivered flow is more or less constant throughout the active
inspiratory phase.
With a decreasing flow, the delivered flow decreases throughout the active inspiratory phase.
Four settings are available with I/E or Ti:
•
flow with a decreasing slope setting of 2;
•
flow with a decreasing slope setting of 3;
•
flow with a decreasing slope setting of 4;
•
flow with a decreasing slope setting of 5;

Figure 4.6: Flow shape parameter with I/E or Ti setting.
Four settings are available with max. flow ( max):
•
flow with a decreasing slope set at 75% (2) of the max;
•
flow with a decreasing slope set at 50% (3) of the max;
•
flow with a decreasing slope set at 25% (4) of the max;
•
flow with a decreasing slope set at 0% (5) of the max;
