| 6 | Ventilation, modes and functions
Always set the Apnea time appropriate to the
individual patient situation. If the apnea alarm
limit is reached the ventilator will automatically
switch to backup ventilation.
It is also very important to set lower and upper
alarm limit for expired Minute Volume.
It is important to set the Inspiratory rise time
to a comfortable value for the patient. In
Pressure Support the Inspiratory rise time
should normally be increased.
Inspiratory Cycle-off is important for the
patient's comfort and ventilator
synchronization with the patient. Inspiratory
Cycle-off is the point when inspiration
switches to expiration. E.g. for a patient with
expiratory resistance the inspiratory Cycle-off
should be set to a high value to guarantee
enough time for expiration.
