Operation
High-frequency ventilation with IMV
High-frequency ventilation with IMV
This is a combination of high-frequency ventilation and
intermittent expansion strokes.
During the HF oscillations, the mean pressure is that set for
PEEP/CPAP.
The high-frequency pulses are superimposed at the selected
frequency over the mean pressure.
This function is used for flushing the dead space volume,
for ventilating with reduced pressure stress on the lungs,
for patients with a body weight of up to 2 kg.
Press the keys »Vent. Mode«, »IPPV/IMV« and »On«.
Press the key »Vent. Option«.
Press the key »HFV« and

Press the key »On«.
Adjust the mean airway pressure with the rotary knob
»PEEP/CPAP«. This must be at least 3 mbar.
Adjust the duration and frequency of the IMV strokes with
the rotary knobs »T
