Definition
The Target Volume setting defines the tidal
volume that the Vivo 65 will aim for while
ventilating the patient in a pressure mode. To
aim for the preset volume, the Vivo 65 will
adapt the Inspiratory Pressure between two
adjustable pressure limits: Min Pressure and
Max Pressure.
When Target Volume is active, the mode
field on the Vivo 65 display will indicate
“(TgV)”.
If Target Volume is used with a patient cir-
cuit with an active exhalation valve, leakage
may be misinterpreted by the Vivo 65 as an
increase of tidal volume. This will lead to a
decrease of the Inspiratory Pressure (the
Inspiratory Pressure will not be lower than
the set Min Pressure). This may result in
hypoventilation as the true delivered tidal
volume will decrease both as a result of the
leakage and the decrease in Inspiratory Pres-
sure.
This does not occur if a patient circuit with
leakage port is used.
