5.2.4. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

In CPAP mode, the ventilator will deliver a continuous fl ow rate
to generate airway pressure and use the control valve to maintain
CPAP levels (Figure 13).
There are 2 breathing modes available for the patient during CPAP.
The fi rst mode is with spontaneous breathing when the optional
pressure support is set to "-". In this option the ventilator adjusts
the amount of fl ow internally to maintain average airway pressure
close to CPAP setting.
The other mode is when the optional PSV (Pressure Support) is set
to a desired value. The ventilator will deliver the set PSV pressure
starting at triggering point and until the exhalation phase starts.
Note: The default trigger in CPAP mode is pressure trigger (P) which
is set at 2 cm H
The CPAP mode is equipped with APNEA back up ventilation in which
the ventilator switches to Assist Control ventilation (A/C V) when the
ventilator does not trigger patient's spontaneous breathing for a period
of time (T APNEA) set by the user. The parameters of back up A/C
ventilation are defaulted to volume ventilation based on the initial start up
patient size selection unless changes are made by the user.
