Ventilation mode Pressure Support
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure/Pressure
Support
Spontaneous breathing at an increased pressure
level to increase the functional residual capacity.
Spontaneous breathing can be supported with
Pressure Support. For patients with spontaneous
breathing.
Adjust ventilation pattern with ventilation parame-
ters:
A Minimum respiratory rate RRmin
The minimum respiratory rate RRmin defines
the period, after which a mechanically triggered,
pressure-supported breath is administered if it
has not been triggered by spontaneous trigger-
ing.
B Positive end-expiratory pressure PEEP
C Flow trigger threshold Trigger for synchroniza-
tion of spontaneous breaths
An exceeded trigger threshold is represented in
the pressure curve by triangles.
D Pressure support

E Pressure rise time Slope
Changing the ventilation mode
If the ventilation mode is changed, the presets from
the parameters of the preceding ventilation mode
are adopted or suitably derived.
Identical parameters are adopted directly.
When changing from pressure-controlled Pressure
Control ventilation mode to volume-controlled ven-
tilation modes, a mechanical VT is determined over
10 breaths and preset.
In addition, Pplat is set as a new P
insp when
changing from volume-controlled ventilation modes
to Pressure Control (see following table).
