Transitions
Transitioning between modes or between volume and pressure targeting the device may adjust
or set any of the following parameters:
•
BPM, BPM High Limit, BPM Low Limit
•
VT, VT High Limit, VT Low Limit
•
PIP, PIP High Limit, PIP Low Limit
•
PEEP
•
PS / IPAP
•
I:E Ratio / Ti
•
Rise Time
•
LC
These parameters are adjusted or populated to safely transition the settings that were not
available in the previous mode. After changing the mode or ventilation target, the parameters
and alarm limits should be adjusted to be appropriate for the patient being ventilated. It is
recommended to adjust the parameters and alarm limits by window moving in order up the
device from the Mode parameter window.
Warning!
The alarm limits must be appropriate for the patient being ventilated. If a parameter is
changed, adjust the high and low alarm limit to bracket selected value.
Warning!
The transition into CPAP or BL from invasive modes automatically sets the rise time
to 3, which may be too fast for infants and small children. Before using with an infant or
small child, the user should always configure the ventilator appropriately before
attaching the patient.
