6.5 Ventilation Mode 
NOTE 
  At the inspiratory phase, the ventilator will not automatically generate negative 
pressure. However, it may cause negative pressure because patients inhale air. 
  The user can set high pressure alarm limit. If the pressure reaches the high 
pressure alarm limit in the inspiratory phase, the “Paw Too High” high-level alarm 
is triggered. The ventilator opens the expiration valve and switches to expiratory 
phase until the airway pressure reaches the preset PEEP value. If the airway 
pressure exceeds high pressure alarm limit+5 cmH
2
O(adjustable pressure limit), 
the ventilator opens the safety valve to release pressure, so that the airway pressure 
falls to less than 3 cmH
2
O for continuous 0.5 s. Make sure to set high pressure 
alarm limit properly to ensure patient safety. 
  The P-A/C and P-SIMV are the recommended ventilation modes for use with a 
closed-suction catheter during the suction. And the settings are decided by the 
operator according to the patient situation. 
  In the inspiratory phase, waveforms turning red indicates that the patient has 
spontaneous inspiration or the pressure support ventilation is triggered in 
V-SIMV, P-SIMV, PRVC-SIMV, CPAP/PSV, Duolevel, AMV or APRV mode. 
 
6.5.1 Ventilation Mode and Parameter Setup 
 
1.  Ventilation mode setup field 
  Displays all the keys for setting up ventilation modes. The ventilator can be configured 
with the following ventilation modes: V-A/C, P-A/C, V-SIMV, P-SIMV, CPAP/PSV, 
PRVC, PRVC-SIMV, DuoLevel, APRV, and AMV. Your machine may have different 
ventilation modes. 
2.  Parameter setup quick key field 
  Displays ventilation setting parameters corresponding to the active ventilation mode. 
Selecting 
  displays more ventilation setting parameters. The parameters of sigh 
function and ATRC function are also set here. Ventilation parameters vary subject to the 
ventilation mode.
