Explanation of Modes, Breath Types and Special Functions
Volume Target (Volume Target Pressure Control - VTPC)
Volume Targeted Pressure Control is a hybrid pressure control breath
type where the ventilator attempts to achieve (target) a user-set tidal
volume using the lowest pressure control level. These are much like
pressure control mandatory breaths except that the pressure control
level is managed breath-by-breath by the ventilator in steps of up to
3 cmH2O/mbar. The pressure change in VTPC is limited to a level
thatisbetween5cmH2O/mbar above PEEP and the Pressure limit
setting in order to try to achieve the targeted (user set) tidal volume
within the (user set) inspiratory time. The set tidal volume is not
guaranteed for each breath, it is a target.
The first VTPC mandatory breath delivered after Volume Target is
turned ONisatapressurecontrollevelequaltoPEEP/CPAP+5

Spontaneous breaths in VTPC/SIMV mode are Volume Target
Pressure Support (VTPS) breaths.
NOTE: If the Slope/Rise control is set too low, breathing circuit
pressure may not reach the target pressure by the end of inspiration.
Spontaneous Breath Management in SIMV and
SPONT Modes
There are two forms of spontaneous breath assistance on the e360
ventilator in SIMV and SPONT modes, Pressure Support and Volume
Target Pressure Support.
InVolumeControl,BiphasicPressureReleaseandPressureControl
SIMV, spontaneous breaths with Pressure Support are available.
In Volume Target Pressure Control SIMV, spontaneous breaths are
Volume Target Pressure Support breaths.
InSPONT,whenVolume,BPRVorPressureControlmandatory

In SPONT, when Volume Target Pressure Control mandatory breath
type is selected (Volume Target is ON in Advanced Data Set), all
spontaneous efforts are assisted by Volume Target Pressure Support.
