Mode: (AC, SIMV, PS, CPAP)
Inpsire - Vol/P
*Defaults to AC-V
BMP (Range 1-60 BPM)
*Defaults to 12
**Default alarms = 25/8
I:E vs Tiu (inspiratory timer - Range 0.0-3 sec)
Defaults to 1:2.5 & 1 sec Ti
BIPAP
• mode = CPAP, NPPV
• PIP/PEEP - press & hold for pressure support mode
• select PS # (i.e. 10PS, PEEP 5 = CPAP 10/5)
CPAP
• mode = CPAP, NPPV
• set PEEP
PIP (range 0-80 cm H20)
*Goal < 35
**Default alarms = 35/10 V, 20/10 P)
PEEP (range 0-25cm H20) *+5 = Physiologic PEEP
(Keep same Delta = Inspiration P)
