Ventilation Modes Operations
5 - 8 046-003777-00 A5/A3™ Operating Instructions
5.6 Ventilation Modes
NOTE: In all ventilation modes, when inspiration pressure reaches the high
alarm limit of Paw, the system switches to expiration immediately and
airway pressure is released.
NOTE: When the drive gas supply fails, mechanical ventilation cannot work
normally.
5.6.1 Monitored Parameters
NOTE: The monitored parameters are measured in the condition of ATPS
(ambient temperature and pressure saturated).
The A5/A3 monitors the following ventilation parameters:
5.6.2 Ventilation Modes
The A5/A3 provides the following ventilation modes:
5.6.3 Change Ventilation Mode
To change ventilation mode to Manual
1. Use the Auto/Manual Bag switch on the breathing system block to enter and exit Manual
ventilation mode.
