Hamilton G5 - Additions Window

624074/07 5-15
This action sounds a medium-priority alarm, displays Apnea
ventilation, and provides ventilation as described in this table:
If the patient triggers two consecutive breaths, the device
reverts to ventilation in the original support mode and at the
original settings, and it displays
Apnea ventilation ended .
After apnea backup ventilation is enabled or disabled, it retains
this status in all applicable modes. Apnea backup ventilation
requires no clinician intervention, although you can freely
change the mode during apnea backup ventilation, either
switching to a new mode or accepting the backup mode as
the new mode.
When apnea backup ventilation is disabled, the high-priority
alarm message
Apnea is displayed when apnea occurs.
To verify a setting or to change backup control settings, open
the Controls window.
