Insp Time
T or F: Bias flow can be turned off on the LTV 1200
True: when O2 conserve is turned on than bias flow is turned off & it reduces assistance with patient triggering

B. Patient Circuit
C. Both A & B
B. It compensates for leaks in pt circuit; if leak unstable during exhalation will not be detected; it will improve pt triggering by gradually adjusting pt sensitivity
Which is best to use for ideal trigger sensitivity in LTV 1200?
