Pmax
SIMV, SIMV/ASB can be supplemented with the ventilation
parameter Pmax:
●
Activate »Pmax pressure limit«, see page 79.
●
Set the value of Pmax with the »P
Pressure limited ventilation PLV* – for manually limiting
pressure peaks using the Pmax pressure limit.
The tidal volume remains constant as long as the pressure
curve continues to show a short plateau, and the flow curve
shows a brief pause in the flow between inspiration and
expiration.
Volume monitoring is constantly active. If the set tidal volume V
can no longer be applied, the alarm » !! Vo lume not constant « is
automatically generated.

For a detailed description of PLV, see page 116.
