iVent201 Operator's Manual
259
Pressure control breath - mandatory
breath in which the ventilator
provides constant pressure at a
preset level during inspiration.
5. Patient Breath. Any breath in
which the patient initiates and
terminates the inspiration phase.
This breath type is divided into
two secondary types according to
the method by which the
inspiratory phase is controlled:
Spontaneous breath - the ventilator
helps the patient to breathe by
maintaining the inspiratory pressure
at the baseline level (PEEP).
Pressure Support breath - the
ventilator elevates the inspiratory
pressure to the preset support
pressure level above the baseline
and maintains this pressure during
the inspiration phase.
D.3.1 Adaptive Flow
TM
and Adaptive I-Time™
Unique to the iVent
201,
Adaptive Flow
TM
and Adaptive Time™ are automated
ventilator controls to determine peak inspiratory flow and inspiratory time
during breath delivery.
Adaptive Flow™ and Adaptive I-Time™ work together only in volume control
modes (SIMV and A/C). When used together (the default state for SIMV
Volume control mode) these two features seek to achieve an I:E ratio of 1:2.
