Setting inspiration time
The following parameters can be set to control
inspiration time:
• I:E/Ti
• T pause
• T insp. rise
I:E/Ti
Sets the ratio between the inspiratory and
expiratory time for each breath.
Either I:E or Ti can be used and is selected as
part of the system configuration. See Chapter
9, page 178, for more information.
If I:E is set to 1:4, the fresh gas flow is limited
to the highest allowed flow for this setting, and
may result in the delivered fresh gas flow being
less than the set fresh gas flow.
T pause
Sets the inspiratory pause time as a
percentage of the breath cycle time. During
the pause, the inspiratory flow is closed.
The range is 0 to 30%.
T insp. rise
Sets the time to full inspiratory flow or
pressure at the start of each breath, as a
percentage of the breath cycle time.
The range is 0 to 20%.
Insp. cycle off
Inspiratory Cycle-off is the point at which
inspiration changes to expiration in
spontaneous and supported modes of
ventilation. A decrease of the inspiratory flow
to a preset level causes the system to switch
to expiration. This preset level is measured as
a percentage of the maximum flow during
inspiration.
The range is 1 - 70%.
Breath cycle time
This is the length of the breath i.e. the total
cycle time of the mandatory breath in SIMV
(inspiration, pause plus expiration). This is set
in seconds within the range:
• Infants: 0.5 -15 seconds in half second
steps.
• Adults: 1-15 seconds in one second steps.
See Chapter 11, page 227, for more
background on breath cycle time.
