4.6.2 APCV (NIV APCV)

Assisted pressure controlled ventilation, synchronised
with patient's breathing with leak compensation.

The system displays all PRP relative to the set
operative mode.
APCV is a pressure controlled ventilation, synchronised with the patient's breathing with
leak compensation.
With this parameters configuration, APCV is a pressure controlled ventilation,
synchronised with the patient's breathing, during which the system generates a patient
ventilation at a pre-set inspiratory pressure (Pinsp), a pre-set flow (Flow), a calculated I:E
ratio and a settable respiratory rate (RR).
In APCV the current volume depends on the inspiratory pressure (Pinsp) and on the
patient's lungs characteristics (compliance, lung capacity) therefore the tidal volume will
vary depending on changes in lung mechanics.
During the inspiratory phase, the lung ventilator generates a settable flow (Slope). When
the airway pressure reaches the control value (Pinsp), this pressure level is kept constant
by the lung ventilator until the end of the inspiration that you can set using (RR).
