10 Description of the modes
10.2 CPAP
The CPAP/PEEP setting increases the lower pressure level during
spontaneous breathing. This results in an increase in the functional
residual capacity of spontaneously breathing patients. The patient
is able to breathe spontaneously without any restriction at the set
pressure level. Pressure is generally set at the end of expiration
(PEEP).
Hazardous therapy as a result of an unsuitable ventilation
mode!
In ventilation modes CPAP and CPAP + PS, patients do not receive
any mandatory mechanical breaths. In patients with inadequate
spontaneous breathing or respiratory arrest, use of these modes
might lead to hypoventilation, and cause the patient serious or
life-threatening injury.
Use CPAP or CPAP + PS modes only on patients with adequate
spontaneous breathing.
Continuously monitor the patient and device during ventilation.
