Nasal CPAP (nCPAP)
Overview
Infant Nasal CPAP is a spontaneous mode of ventilation. In this mode, no mechanical positive pressure breaths are
delivered and no inspiratory triggers are required. A patient spontaneously breathes at an elevated baseline pressure
level called the “nCPAP level.”
Note:
Nasal CPAP is an available option in the Infant Mode Select Screen only.
Circuit Compatibility
AVEA nCPAP utilizes standard two-limbed neonate patient circuits and nasal prongs for the patient interface.
