15.3 Setting the Pressure Trigger Level
in CPAP, SIMV, PTV and PSV
The procedure is the same for CPAP, SIMV, PTV
and PSV.
Press the “Set
Trigger” button to
activate the
modification
arrows for the
trigger bar or
touch the bar directly to activate the modification
arrows.
Increase the sensitivity to the required level.
The ventilator colours the first 200 milliseconds of a
triggered breath orange and in the lung mechanics
and measurement panel the Trigger value flashes
white.
Note: The setting of the pressure trigger level
can only be carried out once the ventilator is
connected to a patient.
Note: The Breath trigger sensitivity defaults
to midway between min and max.
Note: A flow sensor can be reconnected and
calibrated at anytime without affecting the
operation of the ventilator.
