CPAP, CPAP/ASB
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Assisted Spontaneous Breathing
For patients breathing spontaneously in an adequate manner.
Spontaneous breathing at a raised pressure level, to increase
the functional residual capacity FRC. Spontaneous breathing
can be assisted with additional pressure by ASB.
Set CPAP by means of the ventilation parameter keys:
—O2 concentration »O2«
— Positive end-expiratory pressure »PEEP«
Additionally, for CPAP/ASB:
— Pressure support »∆ PASB above PEEP«
The following can be set on the screen:
— FlowAcc for pressure support ASB on screen page
»Settings 1/1«
— Sensitivity »Trigger« (for synchronising attempted
spontaneous breathing with ASB pressure support)
on screen page »Settings 1/1«.
CPAP, CPAP/ASB can be supplemented with the following
ventilation parameters and ventilation modes:
Trigger
By setting the trigger sensitivity, the assisting ventilator
support is synchronised with the patient’s own spontaneous
breathing attempts.
● To set the trigger, see page 23.
Apnoea ventilation
● To set apnoea ventilation, see page 28.
