Airway Pressure Relief

Airway Pressure Relief is a feature in ventilators designed to prevent excessive pressure in a patient's airway during mechanical breathing support. When the ventilator detects that the airway pressure exceeds a set limit, it automatically reduces or stops airflow to avoid potential lung injury or discomfort. This helps ensure breathing remains safe and comfortable for the patient. Essentially, it acts like a safety valve, protecting the lungs from too much pressure while still supplying the necessary oxygen and ventilation support.
