8.2 Controlled Ventilation
A continuous flow of gas is delivered to the Y-piece through the inspiratory line. The fraction of inspired O
2
is measured at the O
2
sensor S 3.1 through the open pneumatic valve Y 3.1. Safety valve Y 3.3 prevents
overpressure in the ventilation system, for example, if the expiratory line is blocked.

8.2.1 Inspiration
The PEEP control valve 4 triggers the expiratory valve Y 5.1 causing it to close the expiratory side. The
continuous flow of gas is delivered to the patient’s lung. The airway pressure is measured by the two
relative pressure sensors S 6.3 and S 6.4. The inspiratory pressure limit is controlled by expiratory valve
Y 5.1.
