For rates of 2 to 60 bpm
Tidal volume (VT), ventilator rate, and inspiratory time
(Tinsp) determine the delivery of mandatory breaths.
1 Set switch for ventilator modes to SIMV/CPAP.
Adjust pattern of mandatory ventilator breaths by setting:
2 knob »VT«
knob »f«,
knob »Tinsp«
NOTE: Preferred rates are less than 10 bpm. This will
allow sufficient time for a patient's spontaneous
breathing
If the expiratory minute volume is less than 2 L/min:
3 display shows:
● When spontaneous breathing returns, reduce
ventilator rate with knob »f«.
For rate settings below 2 bpm, switch to CPAP
Set continuous positive airway pressure:
1 using knob »PEEP«.
You may provide pressure support during spontaneous
breathing:
2 set knob »Press. Supp.« higher than PEEP, as
appropriate. Pressure support will then be active
according to the difference in pressure levels between
Press. Supp. and PEEP.
NOTE: When Press. Supp. is set lower than PEEP, no
pressure support is provided.
