Two disadvantages exist when manipulating frequency at higher rates or inverse I/E ratios. The first is that, as frequency increases, air trapping is likely to occur. Figure 17-9 in the textbook illustrates this in a flow/time scalar graphic. Notice that flow does not come back to baseline. The second is that, when the I/E ratio is kept constant, minute ventilation does not change.
