Target Volume

NOTE
If Target Volume is used with a patient circuit with an active exhalation valve, leakage
may be misinterpreted by the ventilator as an increase of tidal volume. This will lead
to a decrease of the Inspiratory Pressure (the Inspiratory Pressure will not be lower
than the set Min Pressure). This may result in hypoventilation as the true delivered
tidal volume will decrease both as a result of the leakage and the decrease in Inspira-
tory Pressure. This does not occur if a patient circuit with leakage port is used.

The Minimum Inspiratory Time setting defines a minimum length for
each inspiration. If the Minimum Inspiratory Time is set to Off, the
length of the inspiration is dependent on the set Expiratory Trigger.
