SPONT+(Spontaneous Ventilation)
This mode provides pressure support based on spontaneous ventilation.
WARNING
If spontaneous ventilation is not detected for configured time while operating in this mode,
mode is automatically converted to the mode (V-ACV or P-ACV) configured in Apnea
Backup.
WARNING
Mode returns to Spontaneous ventilation mode once the patient breathes twice by
themselves.
Once the patient’s intention for spontaneous ventilation reaches sensitivity, flow is
provided to the patient. Pressure is maintained between sensitivity setting value and
pressure level 1 cmH
2
O below sensitivity setting.
Once pressure becomes 1 cmH
2
O larger than PEEP, exhalation valve is opened to begin
expiration.
If the patient falls into apnea during SPONT mode, Apnea Alarm goes off by itself and
Apnea Ventilation (V-ACV Mode or P-ACV Mode) is automatically started. This Apnea
Ventilation is operated according to items configured by user and the Respiratory rate is
automatically changed to 15 RPM.
The mode returns to Spontaneous Mode if the patient shows two spontaneous breaths in
10 seconds.
