TCPL breaths are controlled by inspiratory
flow, limited by pressure (inspiratory + PEEP)
and cycled by time, inspiratory flow or volume
(Volume Limit). The mode for this breath type is
TCPL Assist Control (A/C) mode.**
All breaths are mandatory breaths. Breaths can
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.
TCPL A/C, mandatory breaths
Volume Guarantee breaths (neonatal patients only):* When Volume Guarantee is
selected, the control Insp Pres becomes an advanced setting, the Volume setting displays
as a primary control and the ventilator delivers a test breath at the set inspiratory pressure.
The inspiratory pressure for subsequent breaths is adjusted breath-to-breath. The pressure
adjusts separately for time triggered breaths, patient triggered breaths, apnea backup breaths
and manual breaths to maintain monitored expired tidal volume close to the set target.
TCPL mode
*Requires wye flow sensor.
**Available for neonatal patients only.
