Mechanical Ventilation Support
WARNING: Do not introduce liquids, humidified gases, or administer aerosol medications into the
airway. Moisture in the airway will damage the simulator's internal sensors and mechanics.
HAL's theoretical weight is 75 kg (165
lbs.) which may be a dimension needed
for respiratory therapy calculations.
In preparation for connecting HAL to the mechanical
ventilator, set HAL's respiratory rate to zero.
To set the respiratory rate to zero in the UNI software:
1.
Under the 'Breathing' section on the
left-hand side of the UNI software,
locate 'Respiratory Rate'.
2.
Click on 'Respiratory Rate' and adjust the slider
bar all the way to the left or type in zero.
After setting the respiratory rate to zero, proceed
to intubate HAL using the recommended device
sizes. Please remember to thoroughly lubricate the
ETT before intubating to prevent airway tears.
After intubation, connect the ventilator
circuit and power on the ventilator.
Continue reading the following sections
for further information on lung compliance,
lung resistance, and patient trigger rate to
use with the mechanical ventilator.
WARNING: Always follow the mechanical ventilator's guidelines and precautions.
DISCLAIMER: HAL is not designed to test the performance,
functionality, and accuracy of a mechanical ventilator.
WARNING: HAL's operating limitations are consistent with that of a real human.
Treating HAL in a manner that would seriously harm a real person is likely to result
in damage to the internal mechanics. Always treat HAL as a real patient.
