Sigh. Int. (b)
Sigh. Activation frequency.
Slope
This value shows the inspiration flow speed. It is possible to set
the slope of the acceleration curve of the turbine: the setting is
from 1 to 4. The value of 4 corresponds to the maximum turbine
acceleration (depending also by the mechanical inertia).
Ti (s)
Time that defines the lung ventilator inspiration duration.
The values can be set based on the set RR.
Ti max (s)
Time that defines the maximum duration of an inspiration. If the
duration of the inspiratory phase is lower than the set value, the
patient will be forced to exhale.
Time Low (s) - Time High (s)
Duration of the two pressure levels set in APRV mode.
Tr. E (%)
Percentage of the inhaled flow with regard to the maximum
peak where the inspiratory phase ends and the expiratory
phase begins.
Tr. I (L/min) (cmH2O)
Flow level (pressure) for detecting the patient spontaneous
breathing.
Vte (ml)
Expired tidal volume guaranteed for the patient.
Vti (ml)
Inspired tidal volume guaranteed for each breath.
2-23
