Pressure breaths are controlled by pressure (inspiratory + PEEP), limited by pressure
(inspiratory + PEEP) and cycled by time or flow. The mode for this breath type is
Pressure Assist Control (A/C) mode.
All breaths are mandatory
breaths. Breaths may be triggered
when a patient eort is detected,
the breath interval times out when
no patient eort is detected or the
MANUAL BREATH key is activated.
The initiation of a breath resets
the breath interval. Patients
may initiate all breaths. Without
patient eort, breaths deliver
at the set breath rate. During
mandatory breaths, the demand
system can provide additional
flow if needed.
