5.5 Parameter adjustment
5.5.1 Changing patient airway pressure during therapy
In the CPAP and helmet CPAP modes, the patient airway pressure can be
adjusted by changing the PEEP valve during the treatment.
In the CPAP and helmet CPAP modes, the patient airway pressure field
shows the measured patient airway pressure, which is averaged over a
longer period of time. To view the instantaneous change of the patient
airway pressure touch the patient airway pressure field.
Note In the CPAP and helmet CPAP modes, the patient airway
pressure change can also be displayed without touching the
patient airway pressure field. However, the update of the
average value will take considerably longer.
