Pressure Control
This control establishes the target pressure above the PEEP setting for Pressure Control breaths.
NOTE
Pressure Control and Pressure Support breaths do compensate for PEEP. Delivered pressure is
controlled by the Pressure Control setting and is affected by the PEEP setting. For example, a
Pressure Control setting of 20cmH2O and a PEEP setting of 10cmH2O results in a Peak Inspiratory
Pressure (PIP) of 30cmH2O.
REMARQUE
Le contrôle de la pression et la pression de support des respirations compensent la PEP. La pression
administrée est contrôlée par le réglage du contrôle de la pression et elle dépend du réglage PEP.
Par exemple, un réglage du contrôle de la pression de 20 cmH2O et un réglage PEP de 10 cmH2O
donnent une pression inspiratoire maximale (PImax) de 30 cmH2O.
The inspiratory time for the Pressure Control breath is determined by the Inspiratory Time setting.
The ventilator controls inspiratory flow to maintain the set circuit pressure for the set time.
To set the Pressure Control level:
1) Push the Pres. Control button.
2) Change the setting using the Set Value knob.
To select Pressure Control:
1) Toggle the Volume Pressure mode to select Pressure ventilation 21 .
Range: 1 - 99 cmH2O
Flow Termination for Pressure Control breaths may be enabled under Extended Features 22 . If flow
termination is enabled, the Pres. Control display will flash briefly after each flow terminated breath.
The Rise Time profile for Pressure Control breaths may be selected under Extended Features 23 .
21 See Chapter 6 - Controls for more information on how to select Pressure ventilation.
22 See Chapter 10 - Extended Features for how to set the Variable Flow Termination percentage and enable
Flow Termination for Pressure Control breaths.
23 See Chapter 10 - Extended Features for how to set the Flow Rise Time profile.
