D.1.4 PSV/CPAP Mode
Like CPAP mode, PSV/CPAP mode maintains a constant level of pressure in the patient’s airway. In
addition, the ventilator applies a clinician-set pressure (Pressure Support) to each of the patient’s
breaths. This has the same benefits as CPAP, with the additional benefit of assisting the patient in moving
air into his or her lungs.
