Volume Mode AutoFlow - Volume
AF (Optional)
Figure 68. Respiratory Cycle - Volume AF
The Apollo has the optional ventilation mode Volume
AF, a pressure-controlled ventilation mode with a
guaranteed tidal volume V
T and frequency Freq. as
well as optional synchronization activation and
variable Pressure Support for spontaneous breathing
efforts (optional).
Volume AF combines the advantages of pressure
controlled and volume-controlled ventilation mode.
The set tidal volume V
T is delivered in a pressure-
controlled ventilation mode. The inspiratory pressure
automatically adapts to the set tidal volume, limited
by a maximum pressure P
MAX (see Figure 68). When
starting the ventilation with Volume AF, the first
mandatory breath is volume-controlled in order to
identify the necessary pressure level, if not known
from a previous mode.
Apollo automatically adapts the inspiratory pressure
to the changing lung condition from breathing cycle
to breathing cycle in steps of max.
±3cmH2O.
The delivery of tidal volume for one breathing cycle is
limited to 130 % of the set tidal volume. If the volume
limitation is active, the ventilation pressure for the
following breath will be reduced to 75 % of the target
pressure, but limited to a maximum of 15 mbar above
PEEP.
Some settable values are limited or mutually
exclusive so that specific combinations of therapy
settings are not possible, e.g., >T
INSP< 6.9 s at
>Freq.<100bpm.
