Volume breaths are controlled by inspiratory flow, limited by a pre-set volume or maximum
inspiratory pressure and cycled by volume or time. During mandatory breaths, the demand
system can provide additional flow if needed. The mode for this breath type is Volume
Assist Control (A/C) mode.
All breaths are mandatory breaths
at the set tidal volume. Breaths
are triggered when a patient
eort is detected, the breath
interval elapses when no
patient eort is detected
or the MANUAL BREATH key
is activated. The initiation of
a breath by any means resets
the breath interval. The patient
may initiate all breaths. Without
patient eort, breaths deliver
at the set breath rate.
