4.7.3.1 CPAP operative mode
Positive continuous pressure applied on the airway.
The system displays all PRP relative to the set
operating mode.
CPAP is a spontaneous positive pressure ventilation at continuous flow.
In this operating mode the patient is free to breath spontaneously inside the circuit but
at a pressure greater than the atmospheric one, with increased residual functional
capacity.
During spontaneous breathing the pressure value varies around the set value, it tends
to drop when the patient inhales and to rise when the patient exhales.
