1. Volume Control assures a preset tidal
volume with constant flow during a preset
inspiratory time at a preset frequency.
2. The inspiratory flow is constant and
depends on User Interface setting.
3. Inspiration starts according to the preset
frequency or when the patient triggers.
4. If the patient makes an inspiratory effort
during the inspiratory period, the ventilator
will switch to Pressure Support to satisfy
the patient´s flow demand.
Expiration starts:
• When the preset tidal volume is delivered
and after the preset pause time.
• When the flow returns to the set value after
the preset tidal volume is delivered and after
the preset pause time (on-demand support).
The patient is however always guaranteed
an expiration time corresponding to at least
20% of the total breath.
• If the upper pressure limit is exceeded.
