5.2. Ventilation Modes
The e500 ventilator is equipped with a number of ventilation
modes to enable the healthcare provider to tailor the ventila-
tor settings to the patient's specific respiratory requirements.
Ventilation could be delivered invasively (ET tube) or non-inva-
sively (mask).
In all modes, should the patient demand more flow than set
by Health care provider, he/she can inhale the required volume
from ambient.
Each ventilation mode has a default setting (based on the initial
patient size setting selection on startup) which will be initiated
on selection of that specific ventilation mode if no changes to
the settings are made.
Note: When switching between ventilation modes, any shared parameter
will be carried over and any new parameter will be set to default.
