Airway pressure monitoring

Parameter field and waveform window
for airway pressure
Volume Control
A
H
The following parameters are displayed in
numerical and graphical form in the parameter field
and in waveform window for the airway pressure:
A The positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
indicates the airway pressure at the end of the
expiration in cmH O (hPa). The display range
2
is between 0 and 30 cmH
B The plateau pressure (PLAT) indicates the
airway pressure at the end of the inspiration in
cmH O (hPa). The display range is between 0
2
and 80 cmH O (0 and 80 hPa).
2
or
The mean airway pressure (MEAN) indicates
the average of all pressure values that were
recorded during a breath in cmH
display range is between 0 and 50 cmH
and 50 hPa).
NOTE
Fabius can be configured by DrägerService or an
authorized local service partner so that the mean
airway pressure (MEAN) is displayed instead of
the plateau pressure (PLAT).

E Pressure threshold
F Pressure waveform
G Pressure threshold as a line
The pressure threshold is used for the
detection of apnea (disconnection) and
continuous pressure. If the pressure waveform
does not cross the pressure threshold either
from above or below, an alarm is sounded.
H Scale of the pressure waveform with display
range from 0 to 20, 0 to 50, or 0 to 100 cmH
(0 to 20, 0 to 50, or 0 to 100 hPa). The scaling
is done automatically.
Pressure alarms in automatic ventilation
modes
If Fabius does not detect a breath in a specific time
period, the alarm APNOEA PRESSURE !! or
APNOEA PRESSURE !!! is triggered, see chapter
''Alarm – Cause – Remedy'' on page 160.
Pressure alarms in ManSpont
If Fabius does not detect a breath in a specific time
period, after 30 seconds the alarm APNOEA
PRESSURE !! with the priority CAUTION is
triggered. If this alarm is not remedied, the priority
increases after a further 30 seconds to WARNING.
