’
after ET clamp is
removed.
NOTE: Ensure ET clamp is
removed before start of
ventilation.
When ventilation starts, inspira
-
tory resistance will be high and
lung compliance will be low.
NOTE: Lung inflation at retrieval is
critical. Collapsed lungs are
extremely difficult to re
-
expand
and might demand the use of
higher ventilation pressures,
which will lead to failure of the
evaluation.
The strategy is to limit Peak
pressure to 20 cmH2O, during the
period of re
-
warming, 32 to 37
o
C.
The pressure limit will not exceed
the value set in the Alarms menu
before ventilation started.
In a cold lung, calculated V
T
will
not be met, and:
Pressure limitation Alarm will
activate.
Press Alarm silence button.
