5.4 Performing ventilation
Intubation
The patient will normally be intubated before the
patient valve is connected to the tube.
1. Attach the patient valve to the connector of the
tracheal tube.
2. Monitor the respiratory parameters during ventila-
tion, e.g., with Weinmann’s CAPNOCOUNT mini
WM 97144. This will indicate whether the tube
is correctly positioned and ventilation is ade-
quate.
Ventilation mask
1. Attach the mask to the patient valve.
2. Place the mask over the patient’s mouth and
nose.
3. Stretch the mask over the head and use
Esmarch’s grip to seal it hermetically.
If necessary, insert a Guedel tube to keep the airways
open before putting on the mask.
5.5 Monitoring ventilation
The patient must be monitored constantly during
ventilation.
Ventilation pressure gauge shows the ventilation
sequence.
High airway resistance, e.g., caused by obstructions
or external cardiac massage, tend to affect minute
