9-4 MORPHEUS MRI
PAW high
In this condition, the patient circuit + patient system presents a
higher resistance than expected or a lower compliance. This causes
an increase in airways pressure that exceeds the set limit.
• Check that the corresponding alarm limits are set correctly.
• Check that the mask, endotracheal tube and patient circuit are not in
some way clogged, bent or crushed. If this is the case, eliminate the
problem or replace them.
• Check the correct settings of the patient's respiratory parameters
(according to the operative mode selected: Volume/Flow, Rate, I/E,
Trigger).
• Check that the luminous PAW bar on ventilator (the airways pressure
curve) correctly follows the inspiration / expiration cycle.
• Check that nothing is limiting the patient's respiratory capacity.
• If this is not the case, contact the Siare Service Centre or a Centre
authorised by Siare.
PAW low
In this condition, the patient circuit + patient system presents a lower
resistance than expected or a higher compliance. This causes
insufficient ventilation pressure.
• Check that the mask, endotracheal tube and patient circuit are not in
some way split, disconnected or connected wrongly If this is the case,
eliminate the problem or replace them.
• Check the correct settings of the patient's respiratory parameters
(according to the operative mode selected: Volume/Flow, Rate, I/E,
Trigger).
• Check that the luminous PAW bar on ventilator (the airways pressure
curve) correctly follows the inspiration / expiration cycle.
• Check that the patient circuit is connected correctly to the anaesthesia
workstation and to the patient.
• Check that the anaesthesia unit delivers the gas mixture correctly.
• Check that the low pressure level is higher than the PEEP level set. If
not, increase it above the PEEP level.
• If this is not the case, contact the Siare Service Centre or a Centre
authorised by Siare.
