pNeuton Ventilator 7 - 4
Respiratory Rate range optimizes the interdependence
between the expiratory and inspiratory time for ease of
operation. If the tidal volume is changed and the rate is
not changed, the number of breaths that can occur in one
minute changes. For example:
Volume = 600, Respiratory Rate = 12
(I time = 1 sec, E time = 4 sec, total time = 5 sec)
Change the volume to 900
(I time changes to 1½ sec)
Resultant Respiratory Rate is now 11
(total time for inspiration and expiration = 5½ sec)
Volume = 600, Respiratory Rate = 12
(I time = 1 sec, E time = 4 sec, total time = 5 sec)
Change the volume to 1200
(I time changes to 2 sec)
Resultant Respiratory Rate is now 10
(total time for inspiration and expiration = 6 sec)
Tidal volumes below 500 ml will result in
faster rates than
marked on the Respiratory Rate control. Tidal volumes
higher than 900 ml will result in
slower rates than marked
on the Respiratory Rate control. The marks on the Rate
Control are wide to reflect the range of control position that
will provide the desired rate over the range of tidal volume.
Always count the respiratory rate when first placing the
ventilator on a patient and whenever changing tidal
volumes.
As when using any mechanical ventilator, careful attention
to detail is required. It is suggested that independent
validation of tidal volume and rate be performed using
external spirometers and timing devices.
