Clinical Considerations (continued) The GO VENT™ runs on a continuous gas flow (inspiratory flow) of 6 to 40 L/min depending on patients’ inspiratory flow demand. When connected to a 50 PSIG gas source, the GO VENT™...
- Page 5 VORTRAN ® Medical 5/26/2017 VORTRAN ® VENT™ User’s Guide II. Clinical Considerations (continued) Although peak pressures are listed on the side of the pressure dial, they are only approximate. Clinicians using the GO VENT™ are still required to use good clinical judgment and monitor the patient appropriately.
- Page 6 VORTRAN ® Medical 5/26/2017 VORTRAN ® VENT™ User’s Guide II. Clinical Considerations (continued) The GO VENT™ may be controlled remotely by connecting any length of 22-mm corrugated tubing between the patient connector tee and the modulator. The attached tubing will not increase the dead space, the modulator is an exhalation control valve, and inspiratory gas is delivered through the patient connector tee.
