Weak patient effort

1. At a Trigger sensitivity level above zero
(0), the system senses deviations in the
flow through the PEEP valve caused by
inspiratory efforts of the patient. The more
to the right on the scale, the more
sensitive is the trigger function.
2. Weak inspiratory effort.
3. Very weak inspiratory effort.
WARNING! If the trigger sensitivity is set
too high, a self triggering (auto-triggering)
condition may be reached (red area on the
bar). This condition can also be reached if
there is leakage in the breathing system,
e.g. if an uncuffed endotracheal tube is
used. Triggering will then be initiated by the
system and not by the patient.This should
always be avoided by decreasing the trigger
sensitivity.
CAUTION: If System checkout has been
bypassed, the trigger sensitivity may need
to be adjusted to avoid self triggering.

1. At a Trigger sensitivity level below zero
(0), the system senses negative pressures
created by the patient. Required preset
negative pressure to initiate a breath is
shown numerically. The more to the left
on the scale, the more effort is required
to trigger.
2. Stronger patient effort.
