Question

The inspiratory and expiratory flow sensors are reading a base flow of 5 l/min. the flow trigger is set to 2 l/min. the expiratory flow sensor must read what flow to trigger inspiration?

Answer 1

The expiratory flow sensor must read 3 L/min flow to trigger inspiration.

Given,

Base - Trigger or 5-2 = 3 L/min

Influence of Ventilator factors on affected person effort or work of breathing. The triggering segment—that is, from the onset of patient effort to onset of waft shipping—contains the cause variable of a mechanical breath.

Flow triggering is a popular method for allowing patients to initiate breaths in the course of mechanical ventilation. It works via putting a non-stop “background flow” of gas through the ventilator circuit in the course of expiration referred to as Bias flow.
