Always set the Apnea time appropriate to the
individual patient situation. If the apnea alarm
limit is reached the ventilator will automatically
switch to backup ventilation.
It is also very important to set lower and upper
alarm limit for expired Minute Volume.
It is important to set the Inspiratory rise time
to a comfortable value for the patient. In
Pressure Support the Inspiratory rise time
should normally be increased.

End inspiration is important for the patient’s
comfort and ventilator synchronization with
the patient. End inspiration is the point when
inspiration switches to expiration. E.g. for a
patient with expiratory resistance the end
inspiration should be set to a high value to
guarantee enough time for expiration.
Note: It is important to monitor the
corresponding Tidal Volume levels.
