Definition
The Rise Time setting controls the speed of
the pressure/volume increase from start of
inspiration to set inspiratory pressure/tidal
volume.
A low setting will give a faster pressure/vol-
ume increase and therefore a longer plateau
at the set inspiratory pressure/tidal volume.
A high setting will give a slow increase and
therefore a shorter plateau.
In the VCV-SIMV mode, two different Rise
Time settings are made, one for mandatory
ventilator-controlled breaths and one for
additional pressure support breaths trig-
gered by the patient.
