BiLevel
Synchronised, pressure-controlled ventilation which allows the patient to breathe
spontaneously during the entire respiratory cycle.
The patient has the option of unrestricted spontaneous breathing at both adjust-
able pressure levels. Switching between both pressure levels guarantees a man-
datory minute volume and facilitates spontaneous breathing at PEEP level on the
lower pressure level or pressure support.
The desired minute volume is determined by the set pressure difference be-
tween the upper (Pinsp) and lower CPAP level (PEEP) and the set respiratory
rate (Rate). The tidal volume achieved depends mainly on the compliance and re
-
sistance of the patient's lungs. Inspiration and expiration times (I:E) and the ramp
time between the lower and upper pressure level have an impact on the pressure
and flow curves.
The base pressure level is set with the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
Although this is a mandatory mode, the patient is allowed to breathe sponta-
neously during the inspiration and expiration phase. This enables the patient to
increase the minute volume beyond the mandatory values set.
