Term Meaning
Apnea Temporary inability to breathe.
LBR Low Breath Rate
Bpm Breaths per minute (applies to each of spontaneous, triggered and mandatory)
CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Generator Patient attachment for delivering CPAP, used with nasal prongs or mask
BiPhasic Time triggered, time cycled pressure assists at two separate pressures levels.
BLBR BiPhasic with Low Breath Rate monitoring (US labeling)
BiPhasic tr*
Patient triggered, time cycled pressure assists at two separate pressure levels.
*This mode currently not available in the United States.
