NOTE
Pressure Support and Pressure Control breaths on the LTV ® 1200 / 1150 are compensated for
PEEP. Delivered pressure is controlled by the Pressure Support or Pressure Control setting and is
affected by the PEEP setting. For example, a Pressure Support setting of 20cmH 2 O and a PEEP
setting of 10cmH 2 O results in a Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) of 30cmH 2 O.
REMARQUE
La pression de support et le contrôle de la pression des respirations sur le LTV ® 1200 / 1150 sont
compensés pour la pression expiratoire positive (PEP). La pression administrée est contrôlée par le
réglage de la pression de support ou par le réglage du contrôle de la pression et elle dépend du
réglage PEP. Par exemple, un réglage de la pression de support de 20 cmH 2 O et un réglage PEP de
10 cmH 2 O donnent une pression inspiratoire maximale (PImax) de 30 cmH 2 O.
