7.3.3 Activate AFGO from AUTO
• Ensure that 'Additional Fresh Gas Outlet
(AFGO)' is pre-set in the ventilation mode
touch pad.
• Turn the MAN/AUTO ventilation switch to
MAN.
• Verify there is flow at the Y-piece of the
external breathing circuit connected to the
AFGO outlet
• Switch breathing circuits at the
endotracheal tube from the circle system
to the external breathing system connected
to AFGO. Transfer the sampling line if
needed.
Curves and metrics associated with ventilation
using AFGO are displayed.
Clinical alarms are pre-muted for a duration
of 30 seconds after the activation of AFGO,
indicated by the pre-mute symbol and
count-down timer on the control panel screen.
Check and adjust relevant settings and alarms.
7.3.4 AFGO to End Case
Press 'End case' membrane button.
Confirm the dialog and press 'Accept' to return
to Standby.
7.4 Further information about the use
of AFGO
Gas scales and waveforms for gases are
displayed according to user configuration. The
sampling line must be connected to the
breathing system to display valid data.
For more information on waveforms refer to
Chapter 5, page 107.
The following functions are not accessible
when using the AFGO:
• Loops
• Waveforms for flow and volume
• Ppeak, flow and volume metrics
Perform the following steps if a manual
recruitment maneuver is required during
automatic ventilation:
• Press the ventilation mode touch pad
• Select ‘Manual’ in the dialog and accept
the confirmation dialog.
• Turn the MAN/AUTO switch to ‘MAN’
• Perform the recruitment maneuver
• Adjust PEEP and switch back to AUTO
using the MAN/AUTO switch
WARNING! The emergency flow is always
delivered via the patient cassette outlet and
thus the patient tubings must always be
connected to patient cassette outlets when
emergency ventilation is used.
