3.5.6.3 Setting cuff pressure relative to airway pressure
(AUTO)
WARNING
Set the minimum and maximum pressure carefully
to avoid damages of the trachea as well as airway
leak or aspiration which can increase the risk of
ventilator associated pneumonia occurring.
CAUTION
Use the inflating tube of the tracheal tube or tra-
cheostomy tube to verify that the cuff pressure
controller is generating pressure and reacts imme-
diately on squeezing the pilot balloon.
Selecting the Auto button switches on the automatic cuff pres-
sure adjustments and maintains the actual cuff pressure at the
automatically adapted level.
