7.4.3 APCV-TV

APCV-TV is a pressure controlled ventilation, synchronised with the patient's
breathing (automatic PLIM) with assured current volume (Vte).
The system generates a ventilation at automatic inspiration pressure (automatic
PLIM), in order for the expired volume to equal the volume set (Vte).
During the inspiratory phase, the ventilator generates an automatic flow. When the
pressure reaches the control value inside the airway, this pressure level is kept
constant by the ventilator until the end of the inspiration that you can set using the
(RR) and a I:E ratio.
Use the settable parameters to define an inspiratory trigger (Trig. I) used to set a
flow expressed in litres per minute (or a pressure in cmH 2 O) that represents the limit
for detecting the patient's spontaneous breathing attempt.
The more the value configured is high, the bigger is the patient's effort to get an
inspiratory act.
