Principles of operation
Pressure rise ramp
There are 2 options available for setting the Ramp
pressure rise time:
– Time setting
The steepness of the pressure rise from PEEP
level to the inspiratory pressure can be adjusted
for the needs of the patient.
– Setting the ramp to Auto (AutoRamp):
The device automatically calculates the opti-
mum value based on the measured respiratory
rate.
AutoRamp
The device automatically sets the pressure rise to
70 % of the average inspiratory time of the patient.
The device does not detect trigger efforts of the pa-
tient in patients without spontaneous breathing.
The device provides the flow with a sinusoidal
waveform.
The device detects the breathing efforts of the pa-
tient in patients with triggered ventilation. Flow dos-
ing is faster than with patients who are not breath-
ing spontaneously.
