both volume and pressure modes.
Active PAP circuit ventilation does
not provide leak compensation.
Particular care should be used
at low tidal volumes to ensure
adequate monitoring of exhaled
tidal volume.
WARNING
For ventilator dependent
patients, always have alternate
ventilation equipment, such as
a back-up ventilator, manual
resuscitator, or similar device,
available.
