In V-A/C mode, you can set the following sigh function parameters as required: 
1. [Sigh]:     Switch for turning on sigh function 
2. [Interval]:    Time interval between two sighs 
3. [Cycles Sigh]:    Number of sigh cycles 
4. [△int.PEEP]:    PEEP added in sigh cycle 
 
In V-A/C mode, you can set the following ATRC function parameters as required in Invasive 
ventilation (this function is applied to all Invasive modes and the description is not repeated 
in the other ventilation modes section in this manual.): 
1. [Disable ATRC]:   Switch off ATRC function 
2. [ET Tube]:    Endotracheal tube 
3. [Trach Tube]:   Tracheal tube 
4. [Tube I.D.]:    Diameter of tube 
5. [Compensate]:   Compensate portion 
6. [Expiration]:    Compensate of expiration 
6.5.4 P-A/C 
P-A/C is pressure-assist/control ventilation mode. In P-A/C, the patient’s airway pressure 
rises to the preset pressure level within the time of pressure rising, and is held at this level till 
inspiration time is completed. Then the system switches to expiration. When the airway 
pressure is held at the preset pressure level, delivered gas flow has decelerating shape, and 
varies with the resistance and compliance of the patient’s lungs. During the inspiratory phase, 
when the delivered gas volume exceeds the tidal volume high alarm limit, the system 
switches to expiratory phase immediately. During the expiratory phase, synchronization 
trigger is supported. Namely, when the ventilator detects patient inspiratory effort, it delivers 
next mechanical ventilation breath immediately.
