BREATH TYPES
There are two breath types that apply to the Volume Control ventilation provided by the ventilation system:
• Mandatory
• Assisted
MANDATORY BREATH
A mandatory breath (or machine breath) is completely controlled by the ventilation system. The system controls
both the beginning (triggering) and end (cycling) of the inspiratory phase.
ASSISTED BREATH
An assisted breath is controlled by both the patient and the ventilation system. Breaths are initiated by the
patient’s effort and volume delivery is controlled by the prescribed volume setting and inspiratory time.
VENTILATION MODES
The ventilation system delivers an inspired tidal volume to the patient according to the clinical settings: volume,
breath rate, trigger sensitivity, PEEP, and inspiratory time. Three different volume control modes are available:
• Control
• Assist/Control
• Assist
VENTILATION SETTINGS AND MODES
The Ventilation Settings screen provides options to set different ventilation modes. Consult the following table to
adjust parameters accordingly:
VENTILATION MODES* SET TRIGGER SENSITIVITY TO: SET BREATH RATE TO:
Control OFF ≥ 1
Assist/Control 0 to 9 ≥ 1
Assist 0 to 9 0
* SETTINGS BASED ON PRESCRIPTION
