I. Highly responsive demand flow systems
II. Apnea backup breaths
III. FiO₂ compensation mechanisms
IV. Leak compensation capabilities

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Today, a number of commercially available microprocessor-controlled infant ventilators allow noninvasive application of V-CPAP. In these systems, CPAP is maintained with a variable demand-flow system. Flow rate and airway pressure are regulated by servo-controlling the aperture size of the exhalation valve. These ventilators also include the following: (1) highly responsive demand flow systems, (2) leak compensation, (3) airway graphics monitoring, and (4) apnea backup breaths.
