Starting settings: RR=16, in PC. Ppeak=27cm. I am using a smaller (taped) lung to test longer 'pressure holds'
When increasing Tinhale to 3s, the machine does this. However, the way it is executed is by keeping an I/E=1 and reducing RR effectively to 10. This may be ok, but the interface shows an I/E of 4.0:1 (which is not what the machine is doing)
Should be fixed: interface must show correct I/E and change set RR, because that is what it is actually doing
TBD with Thomas:
-do we keep I/E=1 as a minimum setting (makes sense)?
-do we allow for lower I/E ? This is actually a feature request from an anesthesist (and is a different mode, this is APRV ventilation, I was trying to see if we could do this with the current implementation)
