PEEP Control
The PEEP control establishes the Positive End Expiratory Pressure.
To set the PEEP:
1) Push the PEEP control button.
2) Change the setting using the Set Value knob.
Range: 0 – 20 cmH2O
The LTV ® 1200 has PEEP Compensated Pressure Support and Pressure Control.
On the left waveform (breath), the ventilator is set to deliver Pressure Support (or Pressure Control)
of 20 cmH2O with no PEEP. The “span” or “delta” is 20 cmH2O.
On the right waveform, the vent is set to deliver Pressure Support (or Pressure Control) of 20 cmH2O.
Note that 5 cmH2O of PEEP have been added. This ventilator “compensates” for the added PEEP by
automatically increasing the Pressure Support (or Pressure Control) in order to maintain the same
“span” or “delta” of 20 cmH2O.
To view the measured PEEP in the display window:
1) Use the Select button to display the measured PEEP in the display window.
PEEP Control in NPPV Mode
When NPPV mode is selected, the PEEP control is used to set the EPAP value.
