Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) Mode
In Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) mode, the device delivers bi-level
pressure support. This mode provides Spontaneous and Mandatory
breaths. A Mandatory breath is delivered if the patient does not
spontaneously breathe within the prescribed Breath Rate (BPM)
setting. This ensures that the patient receives a minimum number
of breaths per minute. In this mode, an IPAP is delivered during
inhalation and a lower EPAP is delivered during exhalation. The
duration of a Spontaneous breath is determined by the patient effort.
The duration of a Mandatory breath is determined by the inspiratory
time setting. The following illustration describes these concepts.
