DualPAP
– Bi-level Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation
Description:
In this mode, the patient breathes spontaneously on two continuous
positive pressure and breathing may be assisted by a Pressure Support
(ΔPS). Usually by analyzing the flow curve, a flow peak is seen which
decreases over time. If the Pressure Support (ΔPS
) value is set to 0
(ZERO) or both cycle trigger ways (pressure or flow) are disabled, pure
DualPAP mode will be activated, i.e., without pressure support.
Cycling occurs by flow, adjustable between 5% and 80% inspiratory
flow peaks measured. Depending on this,
