VC/VAC
is a volume-targeted controlled ventilation (Vti), synchronised with the patient's breaths if
the inspiratory trigger (Tr. I) is active.
The Operative Mode VC/VAC is active only with patients: ADULT and PAEDIATRIC.
In this type of ventilation the work of breathing is fully assumed by the unit, and therefore it is used
when the patient is unable to breath on his own, or in order to assure an efficient pre-set current
volume and therefore the mechanical ventilation must fully replace the spontaneous breathing.
The inspired volume (Vti) is pre-set and generated in a pre-set time (RR and I:E) and determines the
characteristics and the pressure range necessary to reach the pre-set amount of gas mixture that
must be provided.
The patient's breathing attempt is detected by the system (Tr. I) and it automatically sends inside the
airway a gas flow at a pre-set volume (Vti). To combine the assisted mode with the control mode, the
User must adjust the trigger sensitivity (Tr. I) at a value that suits the patient.
