Pressure Support Breaths
For Pressure Support breaths, flow is delivered to elevate the circuit pressure to the Pressure
Support setting and maintain it at that pressure until the flow drops below a variable percentage of the
peak flow. Pressure Support breaths may also be cycled by a variable time limit, or by exceeding 2
breath periods. Pressure support breaths are patient type breaths.
For some patients, it may be useful to adjust the variable flow termination percentage. Adjusting the
FLOW TERM setting between 10% and 40% will change the length, volume and comfort of the
inspiration.
