6.10 Suctioning
6.10.1 Suction support
The Suction Support function makes it
possible to automatically inhibit the ventilator
from cycling during a tracheal suction
procedure without activating alarms.
Suction Support includes:
• pre-oxygenation/preparation phase
• disconnect phase
• post-oxygenation phase
WARNINGS!
• Suction Support is not intended to be
used together with closed-suction
systems.
• The minimum PEEP level during suction
support is 3 cmH
2
O. The ventilator will
adjust to the minimum level if the PEEP
level is below 3 cmH
2
O in order to detect
disconnection of the patient.
Important: Alarms are turned off during
the disconnect phase for a maximum of 60
seconds. If the patient has not been
reconnected within 60 seconds, alarms are
activated.
Notes:
• Suction Support is not available in NIV
mode or when the O
2
Breaths function is
activated.
• During the disconnect phase in Suction
Support, the nebulizer is temporarily
paused.
• When only one gas is connected, an
elevated oxygen level cannot be set
during the preparation phase. In this
case, the post-oxygenation phase will be
skipped.
