TY - JOUR T1 - Inspiratory time and tidal volume during intermittent positive pressure ventilation. JF - Archives of Disease in Childhood JO - Arch Dis Child SP - 259 LP - 261 DO - 10.1136/adc.60.3.259 VL - 60 IS - 3 AU - D Field AU - A D Milner AU - I E Hopkin Y1 - 1985/03/01 UR - http://adc.bmj.com/content/60/3/259.abstract N2 - We measured the tidal volume achieved during intermittent positive pressure ventilation using various inspiratory times with a minimum of 0.2 seconds. Results indicate that tidal volume shows no reduction with inspiratory times down to 0.4 seconds. An inspiratory time of 0.3 seconds, however, is likely to reduce tidal volume by 8%, and at 0.2 seconds a 22% fall may be anticipated. ER -
