2 Checking the patient circuit
Before connecting the patient to the ventilator, check the whole of the patient circuit to eliminate
any risk of leaks or defective parts.
Check that:
•
The expiratory circuit support matches the circuit type: single or double
•
The patient circuit and accessories are properly connected to the expiratory circuit support.
Note: Perform a manual test to ensure the ventilator has correctly identified the type of patient
circuit installed.
3 Manual test
This test must always be performed before the ventilator is programmed for a new patient and
whenever the circuit configuration is changed.
WARNINGS
•
The ventilator must not be connected either to a patient or to an oxygen supply during
this test.
•
If the test is unsuccessful, check the circuit configuration and repeat the test. Make sure
you complete every step. If the test is again unsuccessful, stop using the ventilator and
contact a technician.
•
Make sure that when you perform this test, all the accessories that will be used during
ventilation are connected. Repeat the test if an accessory is added or removed.
This quick test (around 1 minute) consists of four stages:
