5.8.1 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 (Slope), 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.
