Volume Control Breaths
For Volume Control breaths, the set Tidal Volume is delivered over the set Inspiratory Time and flow
is delivered in a decelerating taper flow waveform. Peak flow is calculated based on the Tidal Volume
and Inspiratory Time and the final flow is 50% of the peak flow. Volume breaths may be machine or
assist type breaths.
When the combination of inspiratory time and tidal volume result in an initial flow of <20 Lpm, the final
flow remains at 10 lpm and the waveform is flattened.
