CPAP / PS - Spontaneous ventilation with positive airway pressure and
pressure support
1 and 2. represent spontaneous cycles with the support pressure in ZERO.
3, 4 and 5. They represent spontaneous breathing cycles of the patient with support pressure greater
than zero. T
RISE
(Rise Time) of the support pressure can be adjusted so that the initial flow is smoothed.
The cycling occurs by flow as soon as it falls to a certain percentage of its maximum reached value.
6. If the patient goes into apnea, after T
APNEIA
(s) the ventilator will present this condition through an
alarm in its message area on the screen and will start the selected backup ventilation, according to the settings
and programmed parameters.
•
Adjusted support pressure (ΔPS) is a value above PEEP. Therefore, the inspiratory
pressure of support will be the sum of PEEP and ΔPS.
•
The default values are initial reference only.
•
Readjust the ventilation parameters according to the patient's need
