CPAP
1/Freq. (spontaneous)
The set value CPAP/PEEP is used to increase the pressure level of
respiration in order to raise the functional residual capacity (FRC)
of a spontaneously breathing patient. The patient is able to
breathe spontaneously without any restriction at the set pressure
level. The CPAP mode is used exclusively on patients with adequate
spontaneous respiration.
In principle, the pressure is set at the end of expiration (PEEP). The
set maximum ventilation pressure (pMax) ensures the safety of the
patient.
