Entering Pressure Settings (Inspira ASV v )
Inspiration Pressure
The Inspiration pressure is a pressure threshold, which is used to detect airway over-
pressure conditions. If the average airway pressure rises above this pressure thresh-
old, an alarm is sounded (if enabled) and the display shows the fault.This indicates that
the residual volume may be increasing in the animal's lungs and user intervention is
required immediately. Ventilation will still occur after this threshold has been broken.
The default Inspiration Pressure is 35 cmH 2 O.To set the inspiration pressure press the
[Set] key followed by the [Pressure] key. The display should now display a list of
options "Press 1=Insp, 2=Asst". Press the [1] on the numeric keypad to select the inspi-
ration pressure. The display should now read "Enter Insp Pressure"and display the cur-
rent pressure setting. Using the numeric keypad, enter the inspiration pressure setting
in cmH 2 O. Inspira will only accept whole number values for this setting. Press [Enter]
to enter the selected pressure setting.
