5.4.13 Exp. Trigger (Expiratory Trigger)

In PCV-SIMV and VCV-SIMV modes, this setting is applicable to the pressure support
breaths that are triggered by the patient.

Low value is easy to trigger, high value is harder to trigger. (Each step corresponds to
10% decrease from peak flow).
Setting 1 cycles off early and 9 cycles off late.
5.4.14 Minimum Inspiratory Time (Min Insp. Time)
The Minimum Inspiratory Time setting defines a minimum length for each inspiration. If
the Minimum Inspiratory Time is set to Off, the length of the inspiration is dependent on
the set Expiratory Trigger or the maximum inspiratory time.

5.4.15 Maximum Inspiratory Time (Max Insp. Time)
The Maximum Inspiratory Time setting defines a maximum length for each inspiration. If
the Maximum Inspiratory Time is set to Off, the length of the inspiration is dependent on
the set Expiratory Trigger and/or minimum inspiratory time.
