In the Nippy ventilator this alarm may be triggered if the circuit has become unattached from the ventilator

The C means what in CPAP: When the Ventilator is set to deliver one pressure

provides support for every triggered breath and is used for patients who do not have sufficient capacity or to facilitate weaning

A setting that ensure a minimum time taken for the inspiratory positive airway pressure

The volume of air that is exhaled

The SI means what in SIMV, This is a mode of ventilation which delivers a mandatory (set) number of breaths with a set volume while at the same time allowing for spontaneous breaths,.

the volume of air that is exhaled per minute

In the Nippy ventilator this alarm may be triggered if the circuit is kinked in the side of the bed.

a comfort setting used primarily in CPAP ventilation, it allows a progressive increase of expiratory positive airway pressure only.

NI in NIV stands for….

The I means what in IPAP: A Higher pressure delivered during the service users in breath

Tidal Volume and PEEP are both set, the service user will initiate the breath and the ventilator will deliver the support in proportion to the inspiratory effort and target volumes.

in the Trilogy Ventilator, this alarm may be triggered if the tracheostomy is blocked

ensures that a breath will be delivered to the service user if they do not trigger a breath in a set time period.

The B means What in BiPAP: When the Ventilator is set to deliver two pressures

The MV means what in SIMV, This is a mode of ventilation which delivers a mandatory (set) number of breaths with a set volume while at the same time allowing for spontaneous breaths,.

the ventilator delivers a breath to a set pressure and at a set rate. Primarily used in a service user who has no spontaneous breathing but can be used If the service user can trigger a breath.

in the ResMed Ventilator this alarm may be triggered if the service user has many secretions.

In PEEP, the pressure that remains in the airways at the end of the respiratory cycle, that is greater than the atmospheric pressure in ventilated patients ,what does the first PE stand for

In the Trilogy ventilator, this alarm may be triggered if the tracheostomy has been decannulated

The E means what in EPAP: A Lower pressure delivered during the service users out breath

A pre-set tidal volume is delivered at a set rate, primarily used when the patient has no spontaneous breathing

A setting that ends the length of the breath in delivered by the ventilator incase an expiratory trigger is not triggered.

in the ResMed Ventilator this alarm may be triggered if the NIV mask is not fitting properly

the volume of air that is inhaled per minute.

the actual volume of air that is inhaled.
