Description
CPAP mode
Continuous positive airway pressure
The device performs continuous positive pressure ventilation
according to the set treatment pressure, and the treatment pressure is
the same in the inspiratory and expiratory phases.
APAP mode
Automatic continuous positive airway pressure mode APAP can be
called Auto CPAP mode.
When the device is ventilating, when a respiratory event is detected,
the treatment pressure is automatically increased, and when the
respiratory event disappears, the treatment pressure is automatically
reduced, that is, the pressure is automatically adjusted by judging
that the respiratory event is within the set pressure range.
S mode
Autonomous trigger mode.
When the device is ventilated, the patient's own breathing is used to
control the operation of the device (the device provides inspiratory
pressure when inhaling, and the device provides expiratory pressure
when exhaling), and the breathing rate of the device is fully
synchronized with that of the patient.
S/T mode
Autonomous trigger/time mode.
When the device is ventilated, if the patient breathes well on their
own, the device and the patient's breathing rate are kept fully
synchronized; if the patient's breathing is unstable or stops, the
device will ventilate the patient according to the preset pressure and
breathing rate.
T mode
Time control mode.
When the device ventilates, the patient is ventilated according to the
set pressure and respiratory rate and other parameters. This mode is
mainly suitable for patients with weak breathing trigger ability.
