Abstract
A method of providing pressure support to a patient that includes determining a measure associated with an inspiratory time of the patient during therapy, delivering a flow of breathing gas to the patient at an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) level during at least a portion of an inspiratory phase of the patient, delivering the flow of breathing gas to the patient at an expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) level that is less than the IPAP level during at least a portion of an expiratory phase of the patient, and automatically setting a rise time associated with a transition from the EPAP level to the IPAP level based on the measure associated with the inspiratory time of the patient. Also provided is a pressure support system adapted to perform the method.
