3. Touch the Start button (14) and confirm.
During the maneuver, the inspiratory pressure is automatically increased in steps to
the set maximum Pinsp max value and the expiratory pressure is increased to the
maximum PEEP max value. Both pressures are held at the highest pressure level
for a certain number of breaths (Breaths@Max) and then reduced again in steps.
The level of the pressure rise and the pressure decrease is dependent on the
selected patient category. The appropriate settings are made in the system setup.
The Paw alarm limit is checked at the start of the maneuver. If the alarm limit is too
low, it is changed to a value 5 hPa above the set pressure. After the maneuver, the
alarm limit is reset to its original value.
If the pressure is not to be increased any further during the maneuver, touch the
Descend now button (15) and confirm. The pressure will then be reduced again in
steps. The duration of the maneuver is reduced as a result.
To cancel the maneuver, touch the Cancel button (16) and confirm. If required, the
PEEP can be adjusted before confirming. This can be useful, e.g., when the desired
effect has already been achieved during the maneuver. The ventilation will now
continue immediately with the previous settings and the adjusted PEEP.
Due to the technically related delay between the set and the measured airway
pressures, it may happen that the current and the last measured pressures differ by
up to one step level.
The cursor can be used to display the previous measured values. To do this, touch
screen area (11) and move the cursor with the rotary knob. To facilitate reading the
data, screen area (11) will temporarily not be updated. To show the current
measured values again, touch area (12).
