In Intermittent Positive Pressure
Ventilation (IPPV) mode Ventilation is
performed at the specified patterns set
on the equipment without consideration
to possible spontaneous patient
respiration.
The Set Rate is the Delivered Rate.
Set following parameters;
• E‒flow
• Frequency (Rate)
• I‒flow
• I‒time
• PEEP
• Pinsp
• Positive pressure is
created here during
Inspiration with
Passive Expiration.
• This mode should
only be used if no
spontaneous
breathing from
patient is expected.
IPPV can be applied also in Non-Invasive
mode (Nasal IPPV or NIPPV),
for example: with oro- nasopharynx tube
or RAM Cannula; in this case you must
turn OFF and remove the flow sensor
from the Y-piece of the dual limbed
breathing circuit and connect the proper
interface.
A higher I-flow can be requested during
NIPPV mode, because of potential higher
leakages.
