5.4.8 Backup Insp. Time (Backup Inspiratory Time)
The Backup Inspiratory Time setting defines the length of each inspiration delivered during
ventilator-triggered backup ventilation, initiated by the set Backup Rate.
The combination of the Backup Inspiratory Time and Backup Rate setting is limited by the
I:E ratio range, 2:1 to 1:99.
