4.8.11 APRV (Airway Pressure Release Ventilation)

Airway ventilation and pressure release: this type of
ventilation features two positive pressure levels.
•
The system displays all PRP relative to the set
operating mode.
APRV is a spontaneous ventilation mode with constant positive pressure on 2 different
levels, during which the lung ventilator keeps the two pressure levels set constant.
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.
The clinician can set on the lung ventilator the pressure of the two levels and the relative
times.
•
LOW LEVEL pressure - LOW level TIME
•
HIGH LEVEL pressure - HIGH level TIME
