Trigger, Limit & Cycle | Mechanical Ventilation | Little Criticos ===========================================================
In this series we discuss Trigger, Limit & Cycle
In part 4 of this series, we discuss the key phase variables that control breath cycle and their graphical representations.
We will try to differentiate patient and machine triggered breaths and how to identify these by looking at the scalars.
We also highlight salient differences between pressure and volume controlled breaths.

What is the difference between limit and control ? Or both are same ?

Utility of cycling ? Respected sir, you explained that cycle determines end of inspiration and beginning of expiration. But isn't that already set by adjusting Ti ? What is the utility of setting a cycling variable if I have already set a Ti... expiration being a passive process would automatically begin after end of Ti right ?

Hi Arjun. The variable that determines change from inspiration to expiration is called Cycle. It can be time cycled or flow cycled. The set Ti as you suggest is the time cycle which is appropriate patient who is completely or partially dependent on ventilator (CMV or SIMV mode). However, in spontaneously breathing patient who is only on Pressure Support, Ti is better adjusted by the patient himself and setting a mandatory Ti may result in asynchrony. So in such cases flow cycle is preferred. Hope this answers your query.
