Monitoring
Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 161
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
VT/PAW module
Shows the tidal volume V
T and airway pressure PAW
as bar graphs, as well as a numerical value for tidal
volume. See “Volumeter Module” on page 162 for
more information on the tidal volume graph.
ΔV
T module
Shows the tidal volume V
T and airway pressure PAW
as bar graphs, as well as a numerical value for
inspiratory tidal volume VT
INSP, expiratory tidal
volume V
T, and the difference between inspiratory
and expiratory tidal volume ΔV
T.See “Volumeter
Module” on page 162 for more information on the
tidal volume graph.
The low flow wizard
The low flow wizard shows bar graphs for the
minimum required flow (leak and uptake) and for the
total fresh-gas flow. Both graphs have the same
scale.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
If used incorrectly, the reaction time of fresh-
gas concentration changes could increase,
increasing also the risk of undesirable soda
lime compounds.
This tool should not be used when higher flows
are required such as during induction,
emergence, or other times when rapid changes
to the concentration of gases in the circuit are
desired, or when the chemical pharmacology of
the agent being used indicates otherwise.
