(A)VCV: Volume Assisted Controlled ventilation (Valve)
This mode delivers breaths according to the set volume (VT), based on a flow control (Rectangle or
Decelerated Flow Ramp). Inspiration lasts a set constant time (I Time). Exhalation controls the set
exhalation pressure (PEEP). Breaths are guaranteed at a set minimum rate (Rate). Patient can increase
rate by inspiration triggering (I Trig.).

(A)PCV: Pressure Assisted Controlled Ventilation (Valve)
This mode delivers breaths according to the set total pressure, Pres. Sup. added to the set exhalation
pressure (PEEP). Inspiration lasts a set constant time (I Time). Breaths are guaranteed at a set
minimum rate (Rate). Patient can increase rate by inspiration triggering (I Trig.). An optional Vt Target
can be activated.

PSV: Pressure Support Ventilation (Valve)
This mode delivers breaths according to the set total pressure, (Pres. Sup.) added to the set exhalation
pressure (PEEP). Inspiration time is variable adapting to patient flow (E Trig.). Breaths are guaranteed
at a set minimum rate (Rate). Patient can increase rate by inspiration triggering (I Trig.).
During backup breaths, the set Backup I Time defines the inspiration time. If set to AUTO, E trig. still
applies to backup breaths. E Trig. is allowed between I Time Min and I Time Max.
