  • Page 15 Setting up for IPPB use Select the Programmed Timed or Triggered mode for IPPB use, and set the Exsufflation pressure to 0.0 cm 0cmH20 Increase the pause time so there is a sufficient gap for the patient to feel comfortable to trigger their 6.00 sec next breath of their own accord.

Patients should be monitored while using NIV mode due to absence of any clinical alarms.
