In a volume breath, airway pressure increases until the set tidal volume delivers. Flow
delivers at the set flow rate for the duration of the inspiratory time (with a square waveform
selected) or can decelerate to 50% of the set peak flow during the inspiratory phase of the
breath (with a decelerating waveform selected).
Primary controls: Active in Volume A/C mode are Rate, Volume, Peak Flow, Inspiratory
Pause, PEEP, Flow Trigger and %O
