Use presets and work according to guidelines
By using the setting option of the Vt/kg body weight (BW) 4-10ml/kg BW to be
applied, you will be working according to guidelines

and determining the calculated
tidal volume for volume-controlled ventilation.
The ideal body weight and thus the tidal volume to be applied are calculated
differently for male and female patients. The following formula is used for this:
For a 185-cm-tall male patient and a setting of 6ml/kg BW, the following tidal
volume results:
The Vt is obtained accordingly: Vt = 80kgx6ml/kg = 480ml
= 79.51kg ~ 80kgIBW (in kg) = 50 + 2.3 x

Start faster and ventilate more precisely
From now on, you will not need to spend a long time considering which tidal
volume (Vt) is the most appropriate for your patient. With MEDUMAT Standard
2
,
you can now initiate ventilation even more precisely and even faster. By entering the
patient’s height and gender, your ventilator automatically calculates all the ventilation
parameters for the ideal body weight (IBW). The IBW serves as an important indicator
when setting the ventilation parameters
i
. MEDUMAT Standard
2
allows you to start
ventilation faster and far more precisely– giving you more time for all the other
important tasks.
Start ventilation by height
