Ventilation
Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 147
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
– Increased condensation: possible
impairment of the flow measurement and
increased water collection in the upper
diaphragm of the ventilator. Check the
upper diaphragm on a daily basis and
empty if necessary.
– Difference between O
2 setting and
inspiratory O
2 concentration: The O2
consumption of the patient causes a
difference between the set parameter and
measured value.
Changing from manual ventilation Man.Spont. to
automatic ventilation modes:
The ventilation parameters correspond to the last
values set. When the ventilation mode (e.g., Volume
Mode) is used for the first time, the configured default
settings can be adopted. This also applies when the
patient is ventilated in an automatic ventilation mode
(e.g., Pressure Mode) before switching to manual
ventilation Man.Spont..
Automatic parameter changes
With the proper configuration setting in the Standby
Configuration screen, certain ventilation parameters
change automatically when a related parameter is
changed. See the chapter “Configuration” for
complete information.
TINSP changes
TSLOPE may be reduced simultaneously if TINSP is
reduced.
Frequency changes
Figure 78. Automatic Freq/TINSP ChangeDepending on the configuration, the inspiratory time
T
INSP can be automatically changed together with
adjustment of the frequency Freq. in volume-
controlled or pressure-controlled ventilation modes
without synchronization, so that the resultant ratio of
inspiration to expiration I:E remains constant.
To make a combined Freq./T
INSP parameter change:
1. Press the >Freq< button on the Volume or
Pressure Mode screen. The key lights up yellow,
along with the value for T
INSP, to indicate that
both values will change (1 in Figure 78).
