Instructions for Use Oxylog 3000 SW 1.n
Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
During CPR, the airway pressure Paw is increased
because of chest compressions.
The Oxylog 3000 will try to limit the airway pressure
Paw to the set Pmax, without ending the inspiration
prematurely.
However, if due to compressions the airway
pressure Paw exceeds the set Pmax by 5 mbar,
the Oxylog 3000 cycles to the expiration phase.
Therefore in general, if Pmax is set to a higher
value, a higher minute volume is possible.
However, this increases the intra-thoracic pressure
and may reduce coronary perfusion.
