    Advanced Ventilation management: Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP), Continuous

    Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Assist Control (AC), and Synchronized Intermittent

    Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)

    Objectives:

    1. Learners should be able to verbalize thephysiologic differences in delivery of

    respiratory support between BiPAP and CPAP.

    2. Learners should be able to verbalize thedifference between AC and SIMV.

    3. Learners will understand the basic settings ofmechanical ventilation in AC and SIMV mode

    and normal ranges of these settings in adults.

    Material to review prior to lab: reviewCPAP versus BiPAPandVentilator Management

    BiPAP:

    Indications

    1. Exacerbations of COPD associated with hypercapnia.2. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with hypercapnia and/or unresponsive

    to CPAP alone.

    3. Respiratory distress and pulmonary infiltrates in immunosuppressed patients.4. Acute or chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure due to chest wall deformity or

    neuromuscular disease.

    5. Decompensated obstructive sleep apnea with hypercapnia.Contraindications

    1. A reduced level of consciousness, which results in an unprotected airway (GCS
