Using CPAP
CPAP = Spontaneous breathing with positive airway
pressure
Check spontaneous breathing on the pressure gauge:
During inspiration. the patient must be able to produce a
negative pressure of at least 2 cmH2O below PEEP.
1 Set »Rate« knob to 0.
2 Set switch for ventilation modes to »SIMV/CPAP«.
3 Set »PEEP« knob to required positive airway
pressure.
NOTE: The spontaneous minute ventilation is always
applied with 100 % O2 by vol. during CPAP. The setting
of the »Air Mix/No Air Mix« switch has no effect in this
mode of operation.
When spontaneous breathing is insufficient:
● change to SIMV or CMV / A/C.
WARNING !
The automatic "Paw low" alarm for detecting a
disconnection is not functional during CPAP!
Verify tightness of all connections!
WARNING !
Only use CPAP mode for patients with
sufficient spontaneous breathing.
WARNING !
If blender is not set to »No Air Mix«, toxic am-
bient air may be drawn from the environment.
Relocate patient immediately to an environ-
ment of breathable air, so that toxic air is not
inspired when spontaneous breathing returns!
WARNING !
To protect a patient with spontaneous
breathing from toxic ambient air, use SIMV
mode only !
