➡️ Flow Rate
This setting controls how fast a tidal volume is delivered to the patient by the ventilator. The setting can be adjusted depending on the patient’s inspiratory demands. The normal inspiratory flow rate should be set at around: 60 L/min.

With that said, most ventilators can deliver up to 120 L/min if a patient needs a prolonged expiratory time. This is necessary when obstructive diseases are present. When it comes to flow rate, one thing to remember is that if it's set too low, it could result in patient-ventilator dyssynchrony and an increased work of breathing. If the flow rate is set too high, it could result in decreased mean airway pressures.
