Exercise No. 4 (comprehensive model only)
Ensure the Infant Flow transducer and abdominal respiratory sensor (ARS) are attached. Switch to BiPhasic trigger mode.
Set these parameters:
• Low pressure ow rate at 9 LPM • Rate of 25
• High pressure ow rate at 2 LPM • T-high at 0.3 seconds
• FiO
2
at 21% • T-apnea at 15 seconds
1. Apply intermittent pressure to the ARS to mimic breathing. How is this reected on the monitoring screen?
2. Stop pressing the ARS. What happens?
1. Explain how the BiPhasic mode differs from pressure
support ventilation:
2. To reduce the incidence of gas trapping in BiPhasic mode,
the baseline CPAP should be at least:
3. What parameters do you set in BiPhasic mode?
4. What settings would you change to improve oxygenation?
5. What settings would you change to improve ventilation?
6. What could prevent the high CPAP level from being
reached?
7. List two advantages of the BiPhasic mode or nCPAP:
8. List three indications of successful nCPAP therapy:
