Introduction
The lung ventilator module, incorporate a series of sensors for continuous patient
monitoring, the most important of which are:
•
the flow sensor on the expiratory line, used to measure the expiratory volumes of
the patient;
•
the pressure sensors, used to control the pressure of the airways or of the
medical gases;
•
the oxygen sensor, used to measure the concentration of oxygen in the gas
inspired by the patient.

For the controlled ventilation of newborn patients, make reference to
the chapter 7.4, about use with premature patients.
For a correct comprehension of MORPHEUS LT/MRI anaesthesia
unit operation and for a correct and safe use both for the patient and
user, the knowledge of recommendations and instructions indicated
in the present User's Manual is required.
For anyone who already has basic knowledge of anaesthesia unit
functioning and of lung ventilation in general, the use of the user
interface is intuitive and it will be sufficient to consult this user's
manual in order to use the MORPHEUS LT/MRI anaesthesia unit
correctly.
The operator must check the functioning of all these sensors before
using the device in order to prevent incorrect assessments of the
patient's condition.
