12.1.3 Amplitude setting <strong>and</strong> oscillatory volumes<br />
The relationship between the relative oscillation amplitude <strong>and</strong> the<br />
resulting volume is non-linear. The following illustration shows that<br />
only below 65% the oscillatory volume goes down. This was measured<br />
at 25 mbar MAP (patient circuit <strong>and</strong> humidifier: Fisher-Paykel; circuit<br />
compliance: 0.77 ml/mbar; test lung compliance: 0.66 ml/mbar).<br />
