7 Description of the modes
• If the Flow measurement + ASB option is not activated:
If no PEEP value has been set (PEEP value = 0), the patient must
create an underpressure of at least -0.8 mbar in order to initiate
an inspiratory trigger. When using assisted ventilation modes,
ensure that the patient shows sufficient respiratory effort.
If this is not the case, the trigger sensitivity can be increased by
setting a PEEP value > 2 mbar. If the patient is still not able to
initiate a trigger, the mandatory rate must be set accordingly
high to ensure adequate ventilation of the patient.
• If the Flow measurement + ASB option is activated, you can set
the inspiratory trigger independently of the PEEP.
• When the device switches to CPR mode, the PEEP value is
automatically set to 0 mbar.
• When the device switches from CPR mode to another
ventilation mode, it automatically changes from the preset
pMax value for CPR to the preset pMax value for all other
ventilation modes (see "6.3.8 Presets patient", page 132).
• The ventilation parameters are interdependent. Example:
pMax is always larger than the PEEP value.
