is adjusted by only two controls; a linearly
calibrated RATE control (breaths per minute), and a metering VOLUME control.
Follow the setup and verification procedures and be certain the pop-off valve on the anesthesia
machine is completely closed.
DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
When the patient is ready, reconnect the ventilator to breathing system.
2.
ALWAYS set the VOLUME controls to its minimum setting before turning on the ventilator.
The VOLUME controls must be fully clockwise to be set to the minimum setting.
3.
Set the maximum working pressure limit (MWPL).
4.
Turn on the ventilator. Set the RATE before any adjustment is made to the VOLUME.
Adjust the RATE to the desired breaths per minute setting.
NOTE: As you proceed, continually observe the anesthesia system's breathing system pressure
(BSP) gauge to ensure that excessive pressures are not being attained.
5.
The volume controls, as noted above, are initially set after the appropriate RATE has been
selected. Turn the VOLUME controls counterclockwise to increase the tidal volume
delivered, or clockwise, to decrease the tidal volume delivered. Read the approximate tidal
volume by noting the displacement of the bellows in ml as indicated on the bellows housing
scale. At a given RATE setting, the tidal volume can be increased or decreased in this
manner.
6.
Slight changes in he RATE and VOLUME controls can be made as the procedure continues
but never make any gross adjustments to these controls with the patient connected.
Warning:
Under no circumstances should the flush button on the anesthesia machine be used during the
Inspiratory phase of the breathing cycle. There is the extreme danger of rupturing a lung. The
flush button introduces 50 - 100 lpm, perhaps more, of oxygen flow into the breathing system.
During inspiration the discharge valve in the control unit is closed so that flush flow is added to
the inspiratory flow generated by the ventilator and has no where else to go except to the patient's
lungs. It is recommended that the flush feature on the anesthesia machine NEVER be used with
patient connected. The oxygen flow valve can be opened further than normal providing a more
controllable high flow of oxygen.
