15.6. CPR
This setup delivers constant pressure into the patient airways. The
pressure can be adjusted by changing the blower power level field (values
range from 1 to 4) and by adjusting the external PEEP control knob on the
patient transducer. See Section 15.7. Setting the PEEP Value for
instructions for setting the PEEP.
Audio prompt is played in a frequency ranging from 80 to 120 beeps per
minute in order to indicate rhythm of compressions to the caregiver. After
30 beeps are sounded, the ventilator instructs the caregiver to stop giving
chest compressions by sounding 5 consecutive low tone beeps and then
two pressure controlled breaths are delivered to the patient. After the two
breaths end, the ventilator continues to sound the audio prompt for the
chest compressions.
CPR mode may be used when prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) is performed. The following parameters are displayed in CPR mode:
BPM – Number of compressions sensed by the
patient pressure sensor. The number may vary
due to the strength, frequency of com-
pressions, and leaks from the patient airways.
Rate – Allows changing the audio prompt
frequency (range is from 80 to 120).
Force – Change the power level of the blower,
values range from 1 to 4.
Pressure bar graph – Pulmonary pressure is displayed on the bar graph.
Caution: If an unexpected shutoff event occurs, the ventilator will
alarm for the unexpected shutoff when it is next activated. If the
incident occurred during patient ventilation, and the event took
place no more than two
minutes before, the ventilator will
continue with the last ventilation parameters automatically.
