In this example,inspiration is starting out in pressure control and then switches to volume control by using operator-adjusted set-points.One type of mode that fits this category of control types is pressure augmentation (BEAR 1000).In the set-point control type,the output of the ventilator automatically matches a constant operator-preset input value.The adaptive control type changes set-point types based on the patient's changing condition.The knowledge-based control type has the set-points automatically adjusted according to a rule-based expert system,such as breathing frequency,tidal volume,and end-tidal carbon dioxide levels.
