Volume-targeted assist-control ventilation with square wave inspiratory flow

Volume targeted assist-control (A/C) with a square inspiratory wave (constant inspiratory flow). PAO is dependent on lung compliance, tidal volume and inspiratory flow rate. The respiratory rate, tidal volume, inspiratory flow rate and inspiratory time are set; important waveforms to inspect include pressure-time and flow-time scalars and the pressure-volume loop.
