I'm a bit confused with the information in this video, NIV mode on the T1 vent is not BiPAP. NIV is CPAP on this ventilator. NIV-ST is the BiPAP mode for this ventilator. Why are you using NIV mode to give deliver BiPAP when there is a specific mode for it? BiPAP involves setting Pinsp and Pexp/PEEP. I understand you setting Psupp but thats not fixing the ventilatory issues
Thanks for your comment. NIV and NIV-ST are both modes that allow for bi-level non-invasive ventilation (Bi-PAP) with the primary difference/addition for the NIV-ST mode is the addition of adding time cycled breaths (rate). This is added primarily to prevent apnea (or even bradypnea) in the non-invasive pt group. In NIV, if the the Pressure Support setting is set to "0" then it will function the same as CPAP, however if you add any value greater than "0" for pressure support, it functions as Bi-PAP. This information can be verified in the version 3.0 of the Hamilton T1 manual on pages 140-141 or in section 7.5.1 and 7.5.2.
