Graph C shows two pressure-limited breaths at two different pressures.The higher pressure is the pressure-limited ventilator breath,and the lower pressure is the pressure-limited spontaneous breath (or pressure-supported breath).Graph A shows volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation,graph B shows airway pressure-release ventilation,and graph D shows volume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation plus pressure support.
