Apnea Rate 1-80 Bpm
Patient Type Adult/Pediatric
Table 12-5: Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Settings, Ranges & Resolution
Maximum delivered flow during pressure controlled breaths in NPPV is limited
to 100 LPM for the pediatric patient type.
Considered equivalent to Assist Control with Apnea Rate in VCV and PCV. In
NPPV only mandatory breaths are delivered, triggered either at the Apnea Rate
or by the patient.
