4.3.5 Lung Recruitment
1: Manual Hold
Recruitment maneuvers every
hour are important since high
airway pressures during the
maneuver could lead to alveolar
damage and evaluation failure.
CAUTION: Do not recruit the
lung until the temperature has
reached 37
o
C.
The ventilator has an
inspiratory hold key that when
pressed and held, will hold for up
to 15 seconds. This key should be
pressed/held after expiration to
hold the inspiration.
NOTE: If this hold button is
pressed before inspiration, it will
deliver an extra breath instead.
Since Peak pressure has been
limited in the Alarm setup page,
the ventilator will control pressure
during this maneuver (the ventila-
tor subtracts the PEEP setting, so
for a 5 cmH
2
O PEEP and Peak
Pressure limited to 25 cmH

peak working pressure will be
