3.2.9. Manual/Inspiratory Hold
During the exhalation phase, if the Manual/Inspiratory Hold key (E)
(Figure 01) is pressed, a mandatory breath will be initiated and either
the fl ow rate or set pressure control parameter will be delivered as
long as the Manual/Inspiratory Hold key remains pressed or until
the I-time setting is achieved.
After I-time if the button still pressed, the ventilator will switch to
inspiratory hold function in which the ventilator will cut the fl ow
but will keep the exhalation port closed in order to block exhaled
gas from going to ambient resulting in the maintenance of lung
pressure.
The maximum inspiratory hold time is 6 seconds. After that time,
the ventilator will switch to exhalation phase by opening airway
pressure to ambient.
Note:
Manual/ Inspiratory Hold function exists in all modes except
CPAP and CPR.
