After switching on, the ventilation parameters set prior to delivery or subsequently programmed by DrägerService are active in IPPV mode. 1 Set the values required for the patient.

  • Page 40: Automatic Compliance Correction

    Operation IPPV Automatic compliance correction Only set the effective tidal volume! The compliance of the breathing system and of the hoses used is established by the equipment during the self-test or if a leakage test is started manually. The reduction in tidal volume due to system compliance is then corrected automatically during ventilation so that the patient actually receives the set tidal volume.

  • Page 41: Simv

    Operation SIMV Selecting SIMV mode SIMV Selecting SIMV mode Secretion aspirator may only be used in »MAN/SPONT« mode or with disconnected Y-piece. In order to prevent the mechanical mandatory ventilation stroke from being applied during the expiratory sponta- neous breathing phase, a special trigger ensures that the mandatory ventilation stroke is controlled by the patient and consequently synchronized with spontaneous breathing (this is described in detail on page 133).

  • Page 42: Paediatric Use

    Descriptions SIMV SIMV Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Mixture of mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. In SIMV mode, the patient can breathe spontaneously at specified regular intervals. Between these intervals, mandatory (i.e. automatically delivered) ventilation strokes ensure a minimum degree of ventilation. The mandatory ventilation strokes are the same as those for IPPV ventilation.
