Table 3 Resolution and range of VC ventilation parameter settings and total possible combinations
From: Stochastic integrated model-based protocol for volume-controlled ventilation setting
Setting | Resolution:range | Adjusted no. of combinations |
|---|---|---|
Respiratory rate (breath/min) | 1:6–35 | 30 |
Tidal volume (mL) | 1:4–8 | 5 |
Peak inspiratory flow (L/min) | 5:5–150 | 30 |
Plateau time (s) | 0.1:0–2 | 21 |
Waveform | Square/ramp | 2 |
Total number of possible mv setting combinations per patient = 1.89 × 105 | ||
