PCV ventilation mode
PCV = Pressure Controlled Ventilation
In pressure controlled ventilation mode, the applied tidal
volume depends on the ventilation parameters Pmax,
insp. Flow, insp. Time, PEEP and the lung compliance.
Changes in ventilation parameters or lung compliance
influence the tidal volume and the MV minute volume
must therefore be monitored constantly.
Presetting ventilation parameters for PCV
1 Press »PCV« its LED flashes.
● The five ventilation parameters for PCV appear on the
screen with the default settings.
2 Press the softkey of the relevant ventilation parameter.
3 Set and confirm the ventilation parameter with the
rotary knob.
