Meaning / Function
Flow that, when exceeded, triggers a supported breath
Period of time in APRV during which the upper pressure level is maintained.
Inspiratory time
Period of time in APRV during which the lower pressure level is maintained.
Period of time during which the PEEP or CPAP pressure increase to the inspira-
tory pressure or Pressure Support pressure. This time determines the steepness
of the rise in pressure from the lower to the upper level.
