Remark
The parameters shown are only an orientation. In each individual
case, the clinical situation of the ventilated patient needs to be
analysed carefully.
The final representation of the SAT status and a colour-coded evaluation give
orientation to the health care providers how to proceed and which measures to
take.
A 4.4
SBT (Spontaneous Breathing Trial)
SBT is a standardised test procedure that can be combined with all spontaneous
and augmenting ventilation modes. It starts automatically when the user-config -
ured target values are reached and maintained for 5 minutes. For the duration
of the test defined by the user the patient breathes spontaneously at the PEEP
level. The tube-related work of breathing is compensated by activation of the tube
compensation function. Throughout the SBT the patient is monitored and the
weaning indicators are trended. On completion of the SBT, the trend values are
frozen and can be referred to and evaluated until the next SBT starts.
