• HF-Control rate of breaths per minute
• Amplitude-Controls pressure change of breath
• Mean Airway Pressure-Allows user to switch between P
aw
and
Amplitude reading on manometer.
2. Explain in your own words how the Phasitron® functions.
• See manual
3. If transporting a patient in HF mode name two (2) vent changes that would
decrease CO
2.
• Decrease HF Rate
• Increase Amplitude
4. How is mean airway pressure controlled during HF ventilation?
• PEEP Valve
• Amplitude
• HF Rate
5. What is the ventilator classification of the TXP®-2D?
• Pressure limited, Time cycled, HF, Flow interrupter
6. What NO system is recommended for the TXP®-2D?
• Aeronox®
7. If the patient breathes spontaneously during NO delivery will concentrations be
maintained?
• No, Gas will be entrained through the entrainment port diluting the
