The age-adjusted incidence of ARDS in individuals with PaO 2 /FiO 2 (arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen) ratio 300 mmHg is 86 per 100,000 person-years and 64 per 100,000 person-years for individuals with PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio. PMax: Maximum inspiratory pressure in mbarĬPAP + ASB is included in MEDUMAT Transport and is available in MEDUMAT Standard² if the flow measurement + ASB option is activated.ĬPAP + PS has a fixed expiratory trigger which can be set to three levels and is available for MEDUVENT Standard. ARDS, in regards to incidence, morbidity, and mortality, is a sinister clinical conundruma condition that is both common and devastating. PEEP: Positive end-expiratory pressure in mbar Δ pASB: Pressure support (relative to the set PEEP) The set maximum ventilation pressure (pMax) ensures the safety of the patient.ĬPAP + ASB can be used both for non-invasive therapy via mask, as well as on intubated patients. This allows the administered volume and the inspiratory time to be set indirectly. The expiratory trigger determines when the device interrupts pressure support. The inspiratory trigger indicates a sensitivity for triggering pressure support. PEEP or CPAP also allows oxygen to reach more alveoli. Ventilation can be individually adjusted to suit the patient with the aid of the inspiratory and expiratory triggers. CPAP: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure PCV: Pressure control ventilation (similar to pressure control on an invasive ventilator with set rate) PSV. PEEP or CPAP helps to reopen alveoli, making it easier for the patient to breathe. If necessary, the pressure support (Δ pASB) can be switched on. In PC, adjust the pressure so achieve a Vt of 6-8ml/kg of PBW. If the pressure generated is too high, the ventilator has a safety measure to cut off the breath and generates a high pressure alarm.


In principle, the pressure is set at the end of expiration (PEEP). PBW Male: 50 + 2.3 height in inches-60 PBW Female: 45.5 + 2.3 height in inches-60 In VC mode, set the Vt around 6-8ml/kg of PBW. The CPAP + ASB mode is used exclusively on patients with adequate spontaneous breathing.
