Zusammenfassung:A method of setting expiratory time in controlled mechanical ventilation sets a subject's expiratory time based on when the subject's natural exhalation flow ceases. Another method determines when the subject's natural exhalation flow ceases and sets the subject's expiratory time based on the determination. A device for use in controlled mechanical ventilation comprises a flow rate sensor configured to determine when a subject's natural exhalation flow ceases and bases the subject's expiratory time on the determination.
