Control parameters to be set in a mode.

Controls for Ventilation	Controls for Adequate Oxygenation	Controls for Patient–Ventilator Synchronization
Inspiratory Tidal Volume [VTi (ml)]	Fraction of inspired oxygenation FiO2 (%)	Trigger sensitivity
Mandatory breaths per minute [ f (rpm)]	Positive end expiratory pressure	Patient trigger (pressure or flow)
Inspiratory time (s) I:E ratio (inspiratory to expiratory time ratio) Pressure control (cm H2O) Pressure support (cm H2O)	[PEEP (cm H2O)]	Flow cycle
