Parameter Definition Range
Backup Provides ventilation after the adjustable
apnea time passes without breath
attempts.
Applies in SIMV, P-SIMV, APV-SIMV,
SPONT, DuoPAP, APRV, and NIV modes.
Enabled or
disabled
ETS (Expiratory trigger sensitivity)
Represents the percent of peak inspira-
tory flow at which the ventilator cycles
from inspiration to exhalation.
When you increase the ETS setting this
results in a shorter inspiratory time,
which can be beneficial in patients with
COPD. The ETS setting lets you match
the inspiratory time of pressure-sup-
ported breaths to the patient’s neural
timing.
Applies to spontaneous breaths.
5 to 70% (of
inspiratory
peak flow)
