Volume Control Ventilation - Dräger Fabius OS Instructions For Use Manual

Volume Control Ventilation

Ventilator Compliance Compensation
Ventilator compliance compensation is continu-
ously applied during Volume Control so that the
tidal volume delivered to the patient corresponds to
the V
setting. Ventilator compliance is determined
T
during the leak and compliance test performed from
the Standby mode (see "Leak/Compliance Test" on
page 112). To have compliance compensation work
accurately, it is important that the patient hoses
used during the leak/compliance test match the
type of hoses used during the procedure.
NOTE:
When the ventilator settings for Volume Control
cause the ventilator to operate at its limits of perfor-
mance, it is not possible for the Fabius OS to apply
compliance compensation. If the ventilator's perfor-
mance limit is reached, it is not possible to incre-
ment the V setting via the Volume Control Settings
T
window.
