In this configuration, the operator sets the Psupport, the pres-
sure rise time (P-ramp), and the expiratory trigger sensitivity
(ETS) in percentage of peak flow. Consistent with all other
modes, the operator also sets the PEEP/CPAP, Oxygen, and the
pressure or flow trigger.

B.5 Advanced ventilation modes
B.5.1 Adaptive pressure ventilation (APV)
The APV modes, APVcmv and APVsimv, function similar to the
conventional pressure-controlled modes of ventilation (P-CMV
and P-SIMV) with this exception: these conventional modes do
not ensure a tidal volume. The APV modes ensure that the set
target volume will be delivered. The control settings active in
the APVcmv and APVsimv modes are shown in Figure B-7 and
Figure B-8.
