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 />
