During pressure-targeted ventilation, which of the following setting(s) determine(s) V_T?
1) Pressure difference
2) Inspiratory time
3) Time constant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In pressure-targeted ventilation, the tidal volume (V_T) is influenced by the pressure difference (the set pressure above PEEP), the inspiratory time (duration of the pressure application), and the time constant (product of resistance and compliance of the respiratory system).
