this chapter are only to allow the user (i.e.
clinician/medical staff) to enter each mode in
a safe manner. It is the responsibility of the
user to set safe ventilation parameters. The
ventilation parameters stated in this chapter
are used only to guide the user, if the user
deems these parameters unsuitable for the
patient then appropriate parameters should
be selected. The parameters stated in this
chapter should never override the user
choice of ventilator settings.
