Table V.

IAPV parameters; we suggest starting: Pbelt 0-70 Hpa (at the beginning 30-40 Hpa); select desired Ti (during the Ti setted, the PBAir will be deflated, while the patient will be able to inhale); back up rate as desidered; rise time usually 1.0s; Expiratory time (abdominal compression) will be linked to the back up rate and inspiratory time setted. For example: setted inspiratory time 1.5 sec, Fr 15 bpm, derivative expiratory time will be 2.5 sec.
