Cycling
Use the Cycling procedure to deliver pressure breaths through a
series of ventilation steps. The Cycling procedure provides a flexible
way to deliver pressure breaths during ventilation without making
multiple ventilator setting changes. Up to seven preset steps with
multiple breaths are available.
Each procedure defaults steps and ventilation settings which can be
preset by the Super User. The ventilation settings of each step can
be changed by the user before starting a procedure.
There is a limited amount of gas in the bellows. No additional gas
enters the bellows during the cycling procedure. Increase fresh gas
flow to avoid bellows collapse.
