Ventilation with Volume Guarantee
CAUTION
Undetected worsening of the patient's condition
When using pressure-controlled ventilation, the
ventilation parameter VT is an important indicator
of the patient's condition, especially of changes in
lung compliance. Volume Guarantee reacts
automatically to changes in VT, in order to
maintain Vtset at the set value even in the event
of changing lung compliance. The inspiratory
pressure is adjusted automatically.
In order to detect changes in the patient's
condition, and especially lung compliance, early,
the user must not only take the VT into
consideration, but also the automatic adjustment
of the inspiratory pressure.
When Volume Guarantee is activated, the
inspiratory plateau pressure between Pinsp and
PEEP is automatically regulated so that the set
tidal volume Vtset is applied.
1 Set the pressure plateau, see page 64.

Deactivating Volume Guarantee

device is switched to the IPPV ventilation mode.
