3.3 Patient circuits and accessories The Elisée 150 can be used with a single limb or a double limb patient circuit owing to its interchangeable expiratory valve control system. To obtain the best results from this ventilation system, a humidification system and/or antibacterial filters may be added. The Elisée 150 ventilator is suitable for both adults and children.
Connection of the single limb circuit and double limb circuit expiratory supports There are two supports available: • The single limb circuit support, to which the expiratory valve control and the proximal pressure line can be connected. Figure 3.6: Single limb circuit support. •...
Connecting a single limb patient circuit For correct operation, we recommend the use of a CIR011563 single limb circuit or equivalent. Figure 3.9: Single limb patient circuit. 1. Check that the Elisée 150 is fitted with a single limb circuit support (if not, replace it, see "Connection of the single limb circuit and double limb circuit expiratory supports"...

Check that the Elisée 150 is fitted with a double limb circuit support (if not, replace it, see "Connection of the single limb circuit and double limb circuit expiratory supports"...
Connecting accessories Note: Remember to perform a manual test after every change made to the patient circuit. Antibacterial filter Figure 3.12: Connecting an antibacterial filter. The Elisée 150 can be fitted with an antibacterial filter or a heat and moisture exchange (HME) filter.
Page 33
Remote control Figure 3.14: Connecting a remote control. A remote control is available for the Elisée 150 which can be used to start and stop ventilation and to silence audible alarms (those that can be permanently or temporarily turned off). The remote control connects to the serial port connection socket.
Page 34
Trolley The Elisée 150 can be attached to a trolley. First, use an Allen key to fit a multi-support adapter to the Elisée, as shown below: Figure 3.15: Fitting a multi-support adapter. Then attach the Elisée 150 and multi-support adapter to the trolley, using the trolley's retaining slot.
3.4 Turning the Elisée 150 on and off Turning on Press the button on the right side of the ventilator. Figure 3.17: Turning the ventilator on. Using the touch screen Press directly on the appropriate screen icons to access display screens and select parameters. Wednesday February 11: 28: 31...

If the ventilator is in the clinical screens and delivering ventilation, the following screen appears.
4 Ventilation 4.1 Ventilation parameter definitions Pressure support (cmH The pressure supplied by the device in addition to the PEEP during inspiratory phases in PS.SV (PS) and PS.VT modes. PEEP Figure 4.1: Pressure support. Recruitment cycles Recruitment cycles open collapsed alveoli by maintaining a longer insufflation time during a controlled pressure cycle.
Page 40
The device imposes respiratory cycles on the patient with the following adjustable parameters: • the recruitment period (the interval between two recruitment cycles); • the recruitment size (duration of insufflation in the recruitment cycle); • the recruitment pressure (pressure insufflated during the recruitment cycle). Max.
Page 41
With a constant flow (1), the delivered flow is more or less constant throughout the active inspiratory phase. With a decreasing flow, the delivered flow decreases throughout the active inspiratory phase. Four settings are available with I/E or Ti: • flow with a decreasing slope setting of 2;...
Page 42
Respiratory rate (bpm) The number of breaths per minute. The respiratory rate can be controlled by the device (controlled breaths) or by patients themselves with the support of triggers (spontaneous or assisted controlled breaths). Backup respiratory rate (bpm) Fmini The minimum respiratory rate. The backup rate ensures the patient takes a minimum number of breaths per minute.
Page 43
Inspiration to expiration ratio The ratio of inspiration time to expiration time for each breath. P Insp. Example: Ti = 2seconds Te = 4seconds I/E = 1/2 Figure 4.11: I/E ratio. Apnea time Tapnea (s) Period of time after which the device delivers a respiratory cycle if the patient has not breathed. This parameter is available in spontaneous mode only (see "Spontaneous ventilation (PS.SV (PS) and PS.VT)"...
Maximum inspiratory time Ti Max (s) The maximum time for which the device will maintain inspiratory pressure before cycling to expiration. It gives the patient a window of inspiratory time in which to spontaneously cycle into the expiratory phase. Ti Max is available in spontaneous mode only (see "Spontaneous ventilation (PS.SV (PS) and PS.VT)"...
Page 45
Expiratory trigger Tg Exp The value which defines the end of an inspiratory phase. It can be expressed in two ways: • In automatic mode: Automatic cycling allows the inspiratory time to be adapted to the flow shape, and particularly to the max. An imaginary line (the dotted line in the diagram) is drawn from the point where the cycle began to the point with the coordinates '3seconds;...
Page 46
Inspiratory trigger The value which defines when an inspiratory phase is triggered. This trigger can be defined in terms of flow or of pressure: • Invasive inspiratory flow trigger TgI( ): Operates with a double limb circuit only. At the end of expiration, when the patient starts to inhale, the flow measured by the expiratory sensor becomes lower than the flow measured by inspiratory sensor.
Page 47
Tidal volume (mL) The volume of air received by the patient from the device (V ), and the volume of air exhaled by the patient (V Figure 4.17: Tidal volume (V Backup tidal volume (mL) This is the minimum tidal volume delivered in each cycle. However, this volume cannot be delivered in the following situations: •...
4.2 Ventilation modes (Assisted) Controlled Ventilation ((A)CV and P(A)CV) In (Assisted) Controlled Ventilation, the device delivers cycles with a fixed insufflation time and set volume ((A)CV mode) or set pressure (P(A)CV mode). In CV and PCV modes, cycles are triggered by the device (set respiratory rate). In ACV and PACV modes, cycles can also be triggered by the patient (flow or pressure trigger) if the patient's respiratory rate is higher than the set respiratory rate.
Page 49
Note: During (A)CV, the Elisée 150 delivers flow-controlled cycles. Airway pressure and alveolar pressure then depend on the resistance and compliance of the patient’s respiratory system. It is important to set the high-pressure alarm (Pmax) to avoid the risk of barotrauma. The bar graph, shown on all ventilation screens, allows you to monitor airway pressure.
P(A)CV Principle of (Assisted) Controlled Pressure Ventilation The course of a cycle In P(A)CV mode, cycles are pressure controlled. Flow is adjusted to maintain the set pressure during the set inspiratory time. Controlled cycles are delivered according to the respiratory rate set by the user.

Intermittent Assisted Controlled Ventilation (Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) SIMV and PSIMV In the Intermittent Assisted Controlled Ventilation modes, the device alternates between cycles of assisted controlled ventilation (with regulated flow (SIMV) or regulated pressure (PSIMV)) and spontaneous cycles with pressure support (PS) triggered by the patient. This mode allows spontaneous breathing.

Note: • During SIMV it is important that you monitor the level of pressure in the patient's airway through the high pressure alarm, to avoid barotrauma. • During PSIMV, for both assisted controlled cycles and spontaneous cycles with pressure support, the tidal volume is not set but results from the set pressure gradient and from the patient's respiratory mechanics.
Spontaneous ventilation (PS.SV (PS) and PS.VT) The Elisée 150 offers two modes of spontaneous ventilation: pressure support with backup volume and pressure support with minimum volume. Both modes include apnea ventilation as backup ventilation for the patient. PS.SV (PS) Principle of Pressure support Pressure support is a pressure mode which supports the patient's spontaneous respiration.

Page 59
PS.VT Principle of pressure support with minimum tidal volume Inspiratory phase The start of each cycle is triggered by the patient. However, the Elisée 150 has a backup rate setting (Fmini): if the number of cycles triggered by the patient is less than the backup rate, support cycles will be triggered by the device.

Technical description Caution This section is intended for qualified technicians trained by ResMed. The Elisée 150 is a volumetric and pressure ventilator. The air flow is generated by a turbine from ambient air flowing through the air inlet. The Elisée 150 can therefore operate without a pressurised air supply.
Sensor Measurement range Internal temperature sensor. 0 – 100°C Hall-effect turbine speed sensor. 0 – 65,000rpm Operation of the ventilator Outside air is sucked in through an anti-dust filter. It may be enriched with oxygen using the low-pressure oxygen port (max 400kPa). The FiO monitored using a dedicated chemical sensor (if the oxygen monitoring option is activated).
9.2 Technical specifications for the Elisée 150 Electrical specifications • Device class: Class II, type BF . • Mains supply: 100VAC / 1 A to 230VAC / 0.6A – 50/60Hz. • External DC power supply: 12-28VDC, max 15A. • Internal Battery: Li-Ion; 14.4VDC; 6.3AH. •...
