Using the ventilator 25
The figures shown in the table are only recommenda-
tions. Different settings may be required in cases of
pulmonary damage, in small children or in special
indications.
If the set level is reached, e.g., in cases where com-
pliance is inadequate, MEDUMAT Standard sets off
a stenosis alarm (note “ Stenosis alarm“ on
page 29).
5.3 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. This will indicate whether the tube is cor-
rectly positioned and ventilation is adequate.
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.
