During spontaneous breathing, higher resistance
values mean that the patient must do more breathing
work.
In volume-controlled ventilation, an increased
resistance has a slight effect on the applied volume
during the inspiration. However, the peak pressure
increases at a constant plateau pressure. For this
reason, the time constant increases during the
expiratory phase. If the expiration times are too short,
the lungs might not be emptied completely, resulting
in a dynamic overfilling of the lungs (air trapping).
In pressure-controlled ventilation, an increased
resistance can reduce the inspiratory or expiratory
volume.
Before the self test is performed, all accessories
1)
to
be used must be connected. The extendable hoses
must be drawn out to the length required by the user.
This is the only way of ensuring that the compliance
of the breathing system and breathing hoses is
determined correctly and a corrected tidal volume is
automatically applied during volume-controlled
ventilation.
WARNING!
Risk when adjusting the hose length
When the hose length is changed, resistance
and compliance may change. This can result in
an increased or reduced ventilation volume for
neonates.
Do not use extendable hoses, particularly for
neonates.
1) If necessary, take into consideration additional parts such
as water traps or additional hoses.
