Setting Up For Patient Use
Sigh
Turn the Sigh feature ON or OFF. When turned on, the ventilator will
give a sigh breath every 100 breaths at 1.5 times the set Tidal Volume
for Volume Controlled breaths only.
Circuit Type
Select from the following four choices:
1. Heated Exp Limb = heated humidifier with dual heated wire
breathing circuit.
2. Heated Insp Limb = heated humidifier with no heated wire on the
expiratory limb of a breathing circuit.
3. HME = unheated circuit with heat moisture exchanger.
4. Test Lung = no humidification, no heat (for testing and
demonstration purposes)
Monitored expiratory flow and volumes are adjusted appropriately for
Body Temperature Pressure Saturated (BTPS). Circuit Type selection
affects the monitored values. Selecting the Circuit Type that matches
the humidifier and circuit in use will ensure accuracy of monitored
expiratory flow and volumes.
Leak Comp (Leak Compensation)
Select Leak Comp ON or OFF. When Leak Compensation is
turned ON, the e360 automatically adjusts the bias flow between
3 and 8 L/min for Ped/Infant selection and 3 and 15 L/min for
Adult, in order to maintain an end expiratory base flow of 3 L/min.
When Leak Compensation is OFF, the ventilator always provides
a leak compensation flow of 3 L/min during the expiratory phase
of each breath cycle. Leak Compensation flow may increase to
a maximum of 25 L/min with Non Invasive ON. See Section 7 for
more information on Non Invasive Ventilation. Flow Triggering is
automatically compensated for Leak Compensation flow.
Compl Comp (Compliance Compensation)
Select Compl Comp ON or OFF. When Compl Comp is turned
ON, the ventilator automatically compensates for delivered volume
loss due to breathing circuit compressibility during every volume
controlled mandatory breath, using the Compl Comp factor that was
measured during the most recent Circuit Check (the factor is stored
at power down).
The Compl Comp factor is measured during the Circuit Check.
Always perform the circuit check with the breathing circuit system
and humidifier (including water), set up exactly as they will be used
on the patient in order to ensure that the volume delivery/monitoring
adjustment is accurate.
