Spontaneous Breathing: General
A prerequisite for spontaneous breathing is that the patient is supplied with a
sufficient amount of fresh gas. The APL valve selector must be set to the
"IPPV/SPONT" position. No pressure builds up in the circle absorption system. Only
the warnings/alarms for the lower O
2
limit and the upper airway pressure limit (Paw)
are enabled.
Spontaneous Breathing: Inspiration
During inspiration, the expiratory valve
1
remains closed and prevents rebreathing of
expiratory gas containing CO
2
.
The patient inhales the gas mixture from the breathing bag
2.
The gas mixture flows
through the absorber(s)
3
, the open inspiratory valve
4
, the inspiratory hose
5
, and
the Y-piece
6
. Additional fresh gas is supplied to the patient through the fresh-gas port
7
.
Fig. 22:
Spontaneous Breathing (inspiration phase)
The CO
2
is scrubbed from the expiratory gas by the soda lime contained in the
absorber(s)
3
. The fresh gas replaces the anesthetic and the oxygen taken up by the
patient.
