Pcontrol Pressure (above PEEP/CPAP) to be
applied during the inspiratory phase.
Applies to mandatory breaths in P-CMV
and P-SIMV.
3 to
100 cmH2O
Peak flow
1
Peak (maximum) inspiratory flow.
Applies to volume-controlled manda-
tory breaths, when the device is config-
ured in this way.
1 to 180 l/min
PEEP/CPAP PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure)
and CPAP (continuous positive airway
pressure), baseline pressures applied
during the expiratory phase.
Applies to all breaths in all modes
except APRV. In INTELLiVENT
®
-ASV,
PEEP can be set to manual or auto-
matic. For details, see the INTEL-
LiVENT
®
-ASV manual.
0 to
50 cmH2O
Phigh High positive airway pressure level.
P high setting is total desired airway
pressure, including PEEP/CPAP or P low.
Applies to all breaths in DuoPAP and
APRV modes.
0 to
50 cmH2O
Plow Low positive airway pressure level.
Applies to all breaths in APRV mode.
0 to
50 cmH2O
P-ramp Pressure ramp. Time constant required
for inspiratory pressure to rise to the set
(target) pressure.
The P-ramp setting lets you fine-tune
the initial flow output during a pres-
sure-controlled or pressure-supported
breath to match the ventilator flow to
the patient’s demand.
25 to 200 ms
