Use the Procedures menu to pause the gas flow, start cardiac
bypass, perform or change settings for a vital capacity procedure, or
perform or change the settings for a cycling procedure.
Note Vital Capacity shows in the menu if it is set to Yes by the Super
User. Vital Capacity is only selectable during mechanical ventilation.
Note Cycling shows in the menu if it is set to Yes by the Super User.
Cycling is only selectable during mechanical ventilation.
Use Pause Gas Flow to temporarily suspend the flow of gas during
a case. Using Pause Gas Flow while the breathing circuit is
disconnected prevents the flow of gas into the room. Pause Gas
Flow is available during both mechanical ventilation and manual
ventilation.
1. Select Procedures.
2. Select Pause Gas Flow.
The amount of time remaining in the gas flow pause shows in
the window.
Gas flow stops for 1 minute and automatically resumes after 1
minute.
If mechanical ventilation is on, mechanical ventilation stops for 1
minute and then automatically resumes after 1 minute.
3. Resume the flow of gas at any time during the pause by
selecting Restart Gas Flow.
There are two types of cardiac bypass. Manual ventilation cardiac
bypass is standard. VCV cardiac bypass is optional.
Manual ventilation cardiac bypass suspends alarms for patients on
cardiac bypass when the ventilator is not mechanically ventilating.
The volume, apnea, low agent, CO2, and respiratory rate alarms are
suspended. The alarms are enabled when cardiac bypass is turned
off or mechanical ventilation is started.
Systems with the VCV cardiac bypass option enabled can
mechanically ventilate while in VCV mode. The VCV mode is the
only ventilation mode available while using VCV cardiac bypass. The
