Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e
9/61 20/09/2010
Medical Purpose
Universal Jet ventilator is designed for use in ICU (long term applications) and in the operating theatre
for laryngoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, microsurgeries with or without laser. The apparatus is also suit-
able for use combined with imaging procedures to minimise organ motion due to artificial ventilation.
For ICU long-term applications we recommend performing routine blood gas analyses as the applied
minute volume cannot be accurately measured with Jet ventilation and could fluctuate greatly due to
modified pulmonary compliance.
Contraindications
With respect to contraindications please note Jet ventilation shall only be used by clinical specialists
with extensive knowledge of Jet ventilation.
There are no known contraindications in the area of laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy or laser surgery. In a
few cases CO
2
exhalation in heavy weight patients was associated with problems during Single Jet
ventilation. In these cases Jet ventilation was temporarily suspended and conventional ventilation
used until the CO
2
values returned to normal. With Double Jet CO
2
exhalation is supported through the
low-frequency Jet, suspending Jet ventilation is therefore no longer required. Always monitor the CO
2
values when using artificial ventilation. This may be done using a CO
2
module for the MONSOON sold
separately, a capnograph or transcutaneous CO
2
measurement.
