For every mandatory breath, the patient receives
the set tidal volume (VT) with a constant
inspiratory flow (Insp Flow). The set tidal volume
is based on a defined respiratory rate (Freq) and a
defined ratio of inspiratory time to expiratory time
(TI:TE).
The inspiratory flow (Insp Flow) results from the
tidal volume (VT) and the ratio of inspiratory pause
to inspiratory time (TIP:TI).
If TIP:TI is set to 0, the tidal volume VT) is supplied
with the lowest inspiratory flow (Insp Flow) that is
possible at the corresponding respiratory rate
(Freq). In addition, a positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP) can be set.
To prevent too high pressure, the alarm limit
PMAX can be set corresponding to the
physiological condition of the patient.
The lower alarm limit of the airway pressure (PAW
low) is used for the airway pressure monitoring to
detect apnea (disconnection) and continuous
pressure.
If the pressure waveform does not cross the
pressure threshold either from above or below, an
alarm is sounded.
