Pressure support above PEEP
312
01-01 13 00
PS above PEEP is the set inspiratory pressure
support level for triggered breaths in pressure
support. Same restrictions apply as for 'PC
above PEEP'.
Respiratory rate
312
01-01 13 00
Sets the frequency of administered breaths.
The system allows a breathing frequency
within the range of 4 to 100 breaths/minute.
Backup respiratory rate
312
01-01 13 00
Sets the frequency of pressure controlled
administered breaths, i.e. backup rate, should
the patient not initiate a breathing attempt.
The time-out period, after which a breath is
administered, is 60 seconds divided by
'backup respiratory rate'.
The system allows a backup breathing
frequency within the range of 2 to 60
breaths/minute and OFF.
Setting the backup respiratory rate to OFF will
deactivate this parameter when running PS
backup ventilation.
