6.7 PRESSURE SUPPORT
6.7.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PRESSURE SUPPORT
Pressure Support is a patient initiated
breathing mode in which the ventilator
supports the patient with a set constant
pressure.
Inspiration is supported by a constant preset
pressure when activated by patient effort. The
patient determines frequency and duration of
the breaths, which show a decelerating flow
pattern. Inspiratory breath duration can be
influenced by adjusting the Inspiratory
cycle-off criteria.

During Pressure Supported ventilation the
patient regulates the respiratory rate and the
Tidal Volume with support from the ventilator.
The higher the pre-set inspiratory pressure
level from the ventilator the more gas flows
into the patient. As the patient becomes more
active the pressure support level may be
gradually reduced.
