Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Whereas a breath that is initiated by the patient is known as a patient-triggered or patient-assisted breath, a breath that is initiated by the ventilator is known as a machine-triggered or machine-controlled breath.A time-triggered breath is a machine-controlled breath that is initiated by the ventilator after a preset length of time has elapsed.It is controlled by the rate setting on the ventilator (e.g., a rate of 10 breaths/min yields 1 breath every 6 seconds).Flow-triggered and pressure-triggered breaths are patient-assisted breaths that are initiated by decreased flow or pressure, respectively, within the breathing circuit.
