Newport e360 - Modes of Ventilation; Spont

Volume Target (Volume Target Pressure Control)*
Each Volume Target Pressure Control mandatory breath is
delivered primarily according to the user-selected Tidal
Volume, Pressure Limit and Inspiratory Time settings and is
secondarily affected by Respiratory Rate, PEEP/CPAP and
Slope/Rise settings. These are much like pressure control
mandatory breaths but unlike the pressure control mandatory
breaths delivered. When Pressure Control breath type is
selected, the pressure control level is managed breath-by-
breath by the ventilator to a level that is between 5 cmH
2
O
above PEEP/CPAP and the Pressure Limit setting in order to
try to achieve the set Tidal Volume. The set Tidal Volume is not
guaranteed for each breath, it is a target. The first Volume
T
arget Pressure Controlled mandatory breath delivered after
Volume Target is turned ON is at a pressure control level equal
to PEEP/CPAP + 5 cmH
2
O. Spontaneous breaths in Volume
Target Pressure Control SIMV and SPONT modes are Volume
Target Pressure Support breaths.
Modes Of Ventilation
Each breath type includes the choice of three modes:
• Assist/Control Mandatory Ventilation (A/CMV)
• Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
• Spontaneous (SPONT)
Assist/Control Mandatory Ventilation (A/CMV)
In
A/CMV, all breaths delivered to the patient are mandatory
breaths. The user may choose to Pressure Control, Volume
Control, or Volume Target Pressure Control* the mandatory
breaths. In any case the breaths may be time (ventilator-
triggered) or patient-triggered. The Respiratory Rate setting
determines the minimum number of time-triggered or patient
triggered mandatory breaths delivered each minute. (In other
words, the patient is guaranteed to receive this number of
mandatory breaths per minute.)
The
T
rig setting determines
the airway pressure or airway flow threshold that the patient’s
ef
fort must reach in order to trigger these and additional
mandatory breaths. If the patient doesn’t breathe or if the
patient’s efforts don’t cause airway pressure or airway flow to
reach the Trig threshold, the e360 Ventilator delivers the
number of time triggered breaths each minute selected via the
Respiratory Rate setting.
