The Ventilator Interface

The ZOLL Ventilator uses a Graphical Use Interface (GUI) to display the parameter settings
and patient readings.

Changing Parameter Values

The ZOLL Ventilator helps you to manage the patient by organizing ventilatory parameters in
parameter windows on the right side of the display screen. These parameter windows display
the primary and secondary parameters and the alarm settings for that parameter. In addition, set
values and measurements appear in the auxiliary boxes at the bottom of the display screen.
Additional settings used to manage the patient are applied using the context menu for parameter
group.
The sections below describe the parameter windows and the associated context menus for each
parameter. A table addresses availability of the parameter and its use in the device models.
The parameter window values are chosen with the parameter button:
Single Press: chooses primary parameter
Multiple Presses: chooses the secondary parameter and alarm limits
Press and Hold: chooses the context menu
To prevent setting of parameter values that are outside the typical clinical range of settings, the
ZOLL Ventilator displays Pop Up messages that ask if you are sure you would like to set the
parameter beyond the typical range. We describe Pop Up messages in more detail in Chapter 5.

Parameter Buttons

The parameter windows, from lowest to highest, are

Mode

Mode
The ZOLL Ventilator allows you to select different ventilation modes that you can select to
optimally manage the patient:
AC (Assist/Control) -- The patient receives either controlled or assisted breaths. When the
•
patient triggers an assisted breath, they receive a breath based on either the volume or
pressure target.
SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) -- The patient receives
•
controlled breaths based on the set breathing rate. Spontaneous breaths are either
unsupported demand flow or supported using Pressure Support.
