AutoAdapt
Extended function in ventilation mode
SPN-CPAP/PS
To adjust mask-ventilated patients in
SPN-CPAP/PS slowly to the therapeutic pressure
level, the AutoAdapt function can be activated.
Over the time Tadpt , the pressures PEEPadp and
Δ PSadpt are automatically increased in a linear
manner until the PEEP and
Δ Psupp therapeutic
pressure levels are reached. The function is termi-
nated when the time Tadpt elapses. The ventilation
is continued in SPN-CPAP/PS with the defined
PEEP and
Δ Psupp values.
The ventilation parameters can be modified at any
time. AutoAdapt executes the initial adaptation with
reference to the modified ventilation parameters.
The maximum pressure change is 8 mbar/min (cm
H2O/min). If the defined parameters require a
greater pressure change, the Tadpt time is auto-
matically adjusted. Thus the maximum pressure
change of 8 mbar/min will not be exceeded.
Because the pressures remain below the therapeu-
tic level during the Tadpt time, the patient condition
must be continuously monitored. Set the alarm lim-
its accordingly.
