7.4.2 RSI mode
The RSI mode supports you in the induction of anesthesia (TIVA).
It is used on all patients with an increased risk of a pulmonary
aspiration.
Following the selection of the RSI mode, the device launches the
oxygen demand function immediately for the pre-oxygenation of a
spontaneously breathing patient.
For intubation switch to the Manual function. The I:E ratio is
always 1:1. With the supplied MEDUtrigger, this function now
enables manual ventilation with a defined volume and a defined
pressure limitation. The Manual function can be used for checking
the position of the endotracheal tube or as a fallback option should
it prove difficult to secure the airway.
You cannot activate Air Mix in the Demand and Manual functions.
