Instructions for use Fabius plus SW 3.n 99
Operation
Ventilation mode Volume Control
Compensation of ventilator compliance
Ventilator compliance compensation is active in
Volume Control mode so that the tidal volume
administered to the patient (VT) corresponds to the
tidal volume setting. The ventilator compliance is
determined during the leakage test in Standby
mode, see chapter ''Leakage test'' on page 135.
The breathing hoses used during the leakage test
and compliance test must also be used during
operation.
This guarantees an exact compliance
compensation.
Changing to Volume Control mode
In the following examples and illustrations, the
change from Pressure Control mode to Volume
Control mode is described:
1 Press the Volume Control (A) key.
2 Adjust ventilation settings (B).
3 Confirm the new mode.
NOTE
If the ventilator works at its performance limit due
to the volume control settings, Fabius cannot
make the compliance compensation. If the
performance limit of the ventilator is reached, it is
not possible to increase the setting for tidal
volume VT.
