A-Flex
,no edit summary
'''A-Flex''' is a Philips-Respironics brand-specific term for CPAP [[Exhalation pressure relief]].
According to the Philips-Respironics website: "''A-Flex is designed to work with our clinically proven auto CPAP algorithm to improve comfort even more by matching pressure delivery to the patient’s entire breathing cycle. Like [[C-Flex]], A-Flex provides flow-based pressure relief at the beginning of exhalation. Like [[Bi-Flex]], A-Flex softens the pressure transition from inhalation to exhalation to provide additional comfort in an auto-CPAP mode. The pressure profile mirrors the patient’s breathing, and with the auto algorithm intelligence, it will respond to the patient’s therapeutic need throughout the sleep session.''"
