Synchronized pressure-controlled venti-
lation with Pressure Support (Optional)
Figure 75. Pressure Mode with Optional Pressure SupportPressure Support is activated during pressure-
controlled ventilation by entering a value for the level
of support. This can be defined via the button
>ΔP
PS<.
1. Press the >ΔP
PS< button on the Pressure Mode
screen (1 in Figure 75). The key turns yellow,
and last value that was set for Pressure Support
is displayed, together with the last value set for
the trigger sensitivity above it (2 in Figure 75).
The “PressSupp” indication in the status field flashes
on and off (3 in Figure 75).
2. Turn the rotary knob to adjust the Pressure
Support to the desired value, and press the
rotary knob to confirm (4 in Figure 75).
When the value is confirmed, the ”PressSupp”
indication in the status field stops flashing and is
displayed continuously.
If the patient was ventilated without synchronization
when Pressure Support is activated, synchronization
will now be activated automatically with the last
trigger setting used.
Synchronization is maintained with the set value
when Pressure Support is deactivated and set to
“OFF”.
Pressure Support is automatically deactivated when
the trigger is deactivated and set to “OFF”.
In case of a continuous and strong patient activity, it
is possible that the mandatory breathing effort of the
patient coincides with the pressure supported
ventilation, resulting in an increased tidal volume V
T.
The trigger sensitivity is shown above the ventilation
parameter buttons (2 in Figure 75).
The parameters that can be set for Pressure Mode
are shown in Table 6, along with their adjustment
ranges and factory settings.
