Inspiratory Rise
The Inspiratory Rise (Insp Rise) setting controls the slope of the pressure rise during a
mandatory breath. This control is a relative control with fast at a setting of 1 and slow
at a setting of 9. The Insp Rise control is not active for TCPL breaths.
Flow Cycle
The Flow Cycle setting sets the percentage of the peak flow that terminates the inspiratory
phase of a pressure control or TCPL breath. Flow cycling is active for pressure or TCPL
breaths only.
Note: If flow cycling is active during a pressure control breath, monitored airway
pressures (inspiratory) are higher than active automatic airway compensation (AAC).
An Inspiratory Pressure setting of zero AAC still provides an elevated airway pressure,
which compensates for the resistance of the endotracheal tube.
