CPAP/PSV*
Continuous positive airway pressure with pressure support ventilation (CPAP/PSV) breaths
are demand breaths with the pressure level during inspiration equal to the pre-set PSV
level plus PEEP. This breath type is controlled by pressure (pre-set PSV level + PEEP), limited
by pressure (pre-set PSV level + PEEP) and cycled by time (PSV Tmax) or flow (PSV cycle).
All breaths are patient-initiated
demand breaths unless the MANUAL
BREATH key is pressed. When the
MANUAL BREATH key is pressed in
CPAP/PSV, a single breath delivers at
the apnea backup control settings.
Primary controls: Active in CPAP/PSV
mode are Pressure Support, PEEP,
Flow Trigger and %O
2
.
Advanced settings: Available in
CPAP/PSV are Volume Limit, Pressure
Support Rise, Pressure Support Cycle,
Pressure Support Tmax, Bias Flow
and Pressure Trigger.
