Psv Mode - Covidien Puritan Bennett 560 User Manual

Modes of Ventilation
B.1.4 PSV Mode
PSV mode maintains a constant level of pressure in the patient's airway during exhalation. In addition, the venti-
lator applies a clinician-set pressure (Pressure Support) to each of the patient's breaths. This has the same benefits
as CPAP, with the additional benefit of assisting the patient in moving gas into his or her lungs.
