What are the considerations for inspiratory time (Ti) and expiratory time (Te)?
Inspiratory Time (Ti) and Expiratory Time (Te) must be balanced to ensure adequate ventilation and prevent air trapping. Inspiratory time is typically set to 0.5-1.0 seconds, depending on the patientâs age and lung mechanics. Te should be sufficient to allow complete exhalation, preventing auto-PEEP.
