Apnea Ventilation Apnea ventilation provides an emergency mode of ventilation if the ventilator
does not deliver a breath for an operator set interval of time. The apnea time
can be set between 10 and 60 seconds. Upon entering this mode of
ventilation, the ventilator will immediately start using the Apnea Rate setting
specified. In PCV and VCV, the ventilator will begin delivering breaths in Assist/
Control (A/C), but with the operator set Apnea Rate. In NPPV, the ventilator will
deliver only machine controlled breaths either at the set Apnea Rate or in
response to patient effort. In Apnea ventilation, the alarms used are the ones
used for machine controlled breaths in the active breath type (VCV, PCV and
NPPV) that the ventilator was in, when Apnea occurred.
