Description | |||
| Brief Description: | Respiratory Mechanics (Option 30): Static Mechanics: The ventilator delivers one mandatory breath with a square flow waveform with a plateau period of up to 2 seconds. The plateau will be terminated sooner if it's stable enough for compliance and resistance to be measured. Negative Inspiratory Pressure: The negative inspiratory pressure manuver measures the maximum negative pressure a patient can generate against an occluded airway during a 3-second period or until exhalation begins, whichever comes first. When the manuver terminates, it displays the maximum negative airway pressure (relative to PEEP) that the patient achieved during the manuver. Vital Capacity: The vital capacity manuver measures and displays the total volume a patient exhales following a maximum inspiratory effort (not forced vital capacity). To conclude the manuver successfully, the patient triggers a spontaneous breath within 10 seconds and completes exhalation within 15 seconds. Current settings for sensitivity and PEEP remain in effect during the vital capacity manuver. Respiratory Mechanics (Option 40): Dynamic Mechanics Monitoring: Dynamic mechanics calculates patient static compliance and airway resistance based on samples collected every 20 milliseconds when machine-initiated, mandatory breaths are delivered. Individual breaths and averaged eight breath values are displayed. Data collected during plateaus is not used in the calculations. Peak Spontaneous Flow Monitoring: Peak spontaneous flow measures and displays the peak inspiratory flow in liters per minute for spontaneous breaths. The peak flow may be displayed for the most recent spontaneous breath or for the average of the last eight breaths. Neither peak flow nor dynamic mechanics affect ventilator operation. Respiratory Mechanics results can be sent to a printer, personal computer or other RS-232 compatible device, and the Respiratory Mechanics option is compatible with the DCI 2.0 option (Option 20). | ||
