Figure J-4. Relationships between breath timing settings
Different hospitals are accustomed to specifying breath timing
in different ways, however. The HAMILTON-G5 ventilator pro-
vides the flexibility to configure breath timing for adult patients
in whichever way is most familiar and comfortable.
It offers four breath timing “philosophies” corresponding to
four different ways of making these settings. You can choose
from one of these four philosophies when you configure the
device. Then, when you ventilate an adult patient on the
device, your chosen philosophy is displayed.
The four philosophies are:
•I:E/Pause
• Peak Flow/Tip
• %TI/Pause
• TI/Pause
Table J-1 shows the active timing control settings correspond-
ing to each philosophy.
