Ventilating pediatric patients and
neonates
If the tidal volume VT is less than 200 mL:
z Use suitable ventilation accessories, see table
page 72.
If the tidal volume VT is less than 20 mL or un-
blocked tubes are used (leaks possible), ventilate
with Pressure Control.
In the Auto control control mode, an automatic in-
crease in fresh-gas flow is possible. Consequently,
in the MAN/SPON ventilation mode, the ventilation
pressure can reach the maximum airway pressure
adjusted at the APL valve.
For this reason:
z Always adjust maximum airway pressure at the
APL valve according to the patient!
Using non-rebreathing systems
Only available with the option External FG outlet.
Example: Bain system
z Prepare Bain system according to the relevant
instructions for use.
WARNING
Limiting device performance
Observe weight setting! Weight determines in-
ternal circle flow.
WARNING
With neonates, monitor the inspiratory CO2
concentration as an indicator of pendulum
respiration.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
The user must assess the risks of switching
over to 100% O2 and take action if necessary.
WARNING
Insufficient gas supply to the patient
Non-rebreathing systems are only suitable
and intended for manual ventilation or sponta-
neous ventilation and may only be connected
up to the external fresh-gas outlet.
CAUTION
Risk of gas contamination!
In A-cone operation, the sample gas withdrawn is
returned to the internal breathing system. Flush
the breathing system each time the patient or
anesthetic agent changes.
NOTE
For the prescribed monitoring of O2, CO2 and an-
esthetic gases. the sample line must be con-
nected to the elbow and the CO
2 water trap of
Zeus IE.
