Airway and Breathing parameters
On the main display, use the navigation keys to select the
Breathing functional area (Figure 5), which shows the current
breathing rate, lung closure state (see Table 1), and if the mani-
kin’s CO
2
output is on, the
CO2
symbol is visible.
Set Breathing Rate
Use the
and quick execution keys to change the
breathing rate in steps of 5, or enter the breathing rate directly
with the numeric keys when the Breathing functional area is se-
lected. The breathing rate can be set between 0 and 100 bre-
aths per minute.
Breathing rate is automatically set to 0 if BP is 0. The breathing
rate is set to the original value if a BP is reset.
Pressing the Shift-key reveals the alternative quick execution
functions (Figure 6):
-
Intub
/
Extub
turns vocal sounds off/on
-
Pulse
toggles the manikin’s palpatable pulses on/off.
-

- Selected Lung Closures ( ) quick execution
functions. See Table 1for the interpretation of the lung closu-
res symbols.
Set Airway Parameters menu

Preset Patient States
On the main display, use the navigation keys to select the Preset
Patient States functional area (Figure 4).
Use the and
quick execution keys to incrementally
change between states 0-5 and Off.
Each Preset Patient State level simultaneously sets seven manikin
parameters. The levels are described on page 12.
Simulation timer
A simulation timer becomes available as a quick execution functi-
on only when the Preset Patient States functional area is selected.
Depression of the quick execution key starts the timer. A second
time stops the timer.
The timer is reset if the key is pushed and held for 1 second.
