15.2. CPAP – SPONTANEOUS BREATHING MODE
During the spontaneous ventilation modes, the patient carries out the
majority of the breathing effort. The pressure support ventilation level PS
can be adjusted. The default PSV level is 18 cm H
2
O.
As long as the patient’s airways are below the PEEP + PSV level, the ven-
tilator will perform ventilation support. This setting directly affects the flow
and thus the supplied tidal volume (VT
I
).
