4.6 Ventilation modes and functions
4.6.1 Apnea ventilation adjustment
Apnea ventilation uses an assisted volume-controlled mode with a frequency and tidal volume to be
adjusted. It maintains the PEEP and inspiratory trigger set in the current mode, Ti/Ttot of 33% and a
decreasing flow rate shape.
Apnea ventilation is triggered when no inspiration has been triggered for a time greater than T apnea.
It stops when:
•
The patient triggers more than three consecutive cycles,
•
The user presses the stop apnea ventilation button or changes ventilation mode.
Apnea ventilation can be deactivated in CPAP mode, by setting T apnea to OFF. In this case, an alarm
that can be cleared is triggered, to confirm the deactivation.
CAUTION:
For safety reasons, apnea ventilation should only be deactivated when the clinical
situation so permits.
Air Liquide Medical Systems
recommends activating apnea ventilation.
Note:
Ideally, the apnea ventilation adjustment should be performed before starting ventila-
tion.
CAUTION:
Apnea ventilation is not available in (A)VCV, (A)PCV, PS-Pro, PRVC modes.
Note:
Apnea ventilation is deactivated for two minutes when the following modes are
launched: CPAP (in NIV) and PSV (in NIV).
4.6.2 VCV (controlled ventilation or assisted volume-controlled ventilation)
[VCV = Volume-Controlled Ventilation]
Principle
VCV mode is used to control the tidal volume delivered to the patient on inspiration and the frequen-
cy of the ventilation cycles. During expiration, the ventilator regulates the pressure in order to maintain
the set PEEP level.
If the inspiratory trigger value is set, this mode denotes (A) to show that it is now also assisted.
