10 Description of the modes
10.3 CPAP + PS (optional)
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.
Risk of asphyxia as a result of aspiration!
Mask ventilation at excessive ventilation pressures can lead to
gastric insufflation and aspiration of stomach contents. This can
cause serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Avoid high pressures during mask ventilation.
Risk of injury from autotriggering!
Automatic triggering of the inspiratory trigger by artifacts
(autotriggers) can lead to the patient hyperventilating.
Reduce the sensitivity of the inspiratory trigger in the event of
autotriggers.
