Inspiratory rise time (%) is applicable in
Pressure Control, Volume Control, PRVC,
SIMV-Volume Control, SIMV-Pressure Control,
SIMV-PRVC. Setting can be in the range
0-20% of the respiratory cycle time.
Inspiratory rise time set in seconds is
applicable in Pressure Support and
Bi-Vent/APRV. The range is 0-0.4 seconds.
Note: When the ventilator is configured for
setting of Inspiration time, the unit for
Inspiratory rise time then automatically
switches to seconds for all ventilation
modes.
Normally in supported modes the Inspiratory
rise time should be increased from the default
setting and to give more comfort to the
patient.
5.3.3 PEEP

SVX-646_EN
A Positive End Expiratory Pressure is
maintained in the alveoli and may prevent the
collapse of the airways.
For Positive End Expiratory Pressure setting
ranges, see section Breathing parameters:
default values & allowed settings (standard
configuration) on page 154
5.3.4 I:E ratio / Inspiration time
The setting of breathing parameters in
SERVO-s Ventilator System can be configured
in two different ways, based on:
• I:E ratio (independent of changes of e.g. the
breathing frequency) or,
• Inspiration time in seconds (independent of
changes of e.g. breathing frequency).
