Respiratory Volume Alarm Messages
The following list contains all HI, ME, and LO alarms associated with
respiratory volume monitoring.
APNEA-VOL
(HI/ME)
The Narkomed MRI-2 continuously monitors the expiratory flow in the
patient breathing system. By processing the expiratory flow pattern, the
monitor can determine whether a “valid” breath has occurred. A “valid”
breath has a tidal volume of 20 ml or greater.
When the ventilator is on:
•
If 15 seconds pass and a valid breath is not detected, the ME message
APNEA-VOL
appears in the Alarm window, and an intermittent
audible alarm sounds.
•
If an additional 15 seconds pass (30 seconds total) and a valid breath is
not detected, the ME message
APNEA-VOL
is upgraded to HI in the
Alarm window, and a continuously repeating audible alarm sounds.
When the ventilator is off
:
•
The ME condition does not occur until 30 seconds have elapsed.
•
The HI condition does not occur until 60 seconds have elapsed.
During apneic conditions, the respiratory volume measurements
disappear after 30 seconds. When a valid breath is detected, alarm
annunciation ceases and a tidal volume measurement appears in the
display window. However, a full minute of respiratory activity must be
registered before the minute volume and respiratory rate appear.
NOTE:
You can disable volume-related alarms by pressing the Breathing
Volume
Off
key.
NOTE:
During some breathing system disconnects when the ventilator is
in use, the ventilator's dynamics may cause a small volume of gas
to be drawn through the expiratory valve and the ultrasonic flow
sensor. Because of the enhanced sensitivity of the flow sensor, this
volume may be detected as a valid breath. However, the
disconnect will still be detected by the airway pressure monitor
which is always on and can not be turned off when the ventilator
is in use.
MIN VOL
LOW (ME)
Whenever the Narkomed MRI-2 measures a minute volume less than the
low minute volume alarm limit, the ME message
MIN VOL LOW
appears in
the Alarm window, and an intermittent audible alarm sounds.
REVERSE
FLOW (LO)
If a reverse flow in excess of 20 ml is detected, the LO message
REVERSE
FLOW
appears in the Alarm window, and a single-tone audible alarm
sounds.
