h. After the ventilator bellows inflates, the flow of oxygen exits the
system through the positive pressure safety relief valve. At this
point, the absorber system's breathing pressure gauge must
indicate a pressure of less than 10 cm H
2
O.
Manual and
Automatic
Ventilation
Systems
26. * Test the ventilator.
a. Check for proper pressure and flow at the Y-piece during the
inspiratory and expiratory phases. Turn the
SYSTEM POWER
switch and ventilator power switch to their
ON
positions. Place the
manual/automatic selector valve in the
AUTO
position. Adjust the
oxygen flow control valve to a 3 l/min flow. Set the ventilator
frequency to 3 BPM, the I:E ratio to 1:2, and the tidal volume to
about 1 liter. (If testing the Pediatric Bellows or Adult/Pediatric
Bellows, adjust the tidal volume to 200 ml.)
Adjust the ventilator inspiratory flow control to the maximum of
the “low” zone on the flow gauge. Occlude the patient side of the
Y-piece. Fill the ventilator bellows by pressing the oxygen flush
button. Observe the breathing system pressure gauge as the
ventilator cycles.
The pressure gauge must indicate a pressure over 30 cm H
2
O when
the bellows completes its downward travel. The pressure should not
exceed 3 cm H
2
O at the end of the expiratory phase when the
bellows completes its upward travel.
b. If the system is equipped with a PEEP valve, verify the PEEP
valve's performance. Attach a breathing bag to the patient Y-piece
with an appropriate adapter such as an Draeger Medical
combination mask elbow with a 22 mm male fitting for the
breathing bag and 15 mm male fitting for the Y-piece. With the
manual/automatic selector valve in the
AUTO
position, set the
ventilator to the preferred frequency.
Set the PEEP bypass switch to the
PEEP ON
position. Then adjust
the PEEP valve to different values and observe the breathing
system pressure gauge to verify performance. Turn the PEEP valve
control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting after the
test is completed. Set the PEEP bypass switch to the
PEEP OFF
position.
Monitors
27. Check the alarm limit settings. The monitor alarm limits are
automatically set to a default configuration when the
SYSTEM POWER
switch is turned on. Check these settings and adjust them if necessary.
Alarm limits can be adjusted at the beginning of or during a procedure.
Also, make sure that any external monitors (if any) are connected
properly.
