    PONTANEOUS REATHING The following section describes the different breathing patterns available in the QuickLung Breather, together with the respective ranges of breath rate, inhalation time (Ti), flow rate, and the maximum spontaneous tidal volume possible. The values in brackets represent default values for each breath pattern.
