Selecting Adult/Pediatric Buttons
You can configure ventilation for adult or pediatric patients (Figure 8-20) from
the active ventilation type screen. Selecting adult or pediatric tailors the
ventilator’s breath delivery algorithms to the selected adult/pediatric patient
type. Selecting adult or pediatric does not change how the screens work, and
does not change ventilator or alarm settings. The patient type selection
determines flow output at various rise time settings for PCV, PSV, and IPAP. In
addition, the “I-Time too long” alarms and time out for spontaneous breaths
are set to 3.5 seconds for the adult setting and 2.5 seconds for the pediatric
setting. Peak flow is limited to 100 LPM in all pressure-based breaths when
using the pediatric setting.
