Airway Pressure Release Ventilation is a modified BiLevel mode with inverse in

spiratory to expiratory time ratio. Patients normally breathe spontaneously on

elimination is achieved by briefly lowering airway
pressure to the lower pressure level (PEEP). At the same time, these short pres
-
sure release phases are intended to prevent the collapse of lung areas that are
ventilated more slowly.
The automatic release function can be activated by adjusting the SwitchFlow pa-
rameter. SwitchFlow is the expiratory flow which is checked for plausibility and
which serves as the criterion for automatic switching to the upper pressure level.
The user can adapt this flow to the current clinical situation.
