B Modes of ventilation
B.1 Introduction
The HAMILTON-G5 has a full range of ventilation modes that
provide full and partial ventilatory support. This section sum-
marizes the characteristics of these modes. The accompanying
tables list the controls active in all modes.
The subsections provide details specific to the modes. In gen-
eral, PEEP/CPAP, oxygen, and patient trigger sensitivity (flow or
pressure) are set in all modes, although you can lock out trigger
sensitivity in the mandatory modes.
A positive baseline pressure can be set for all breaths in all
modes. There are no negative pressures generated during
exhalation.
