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 cmH 2 O
The LTV ® 1100 has PEEP Compensated Pressure Support.
On the left waveform (breath), the ventilator is set to deliver Pressure Support of 20 cmH 2 O with no
PEEP. The “span” or “delta” is 20 cmH 2 O.
On the right waveform, the vent is set to deliver Pressure Support of 20 cmH 2 O. Note that 5 cmH 2 O of
PEEP have been added. This ventilator “compensates” for the added PEEP by automatically
increasing the Pressure Support in order to maintain the same “span” or “delta” of 20 cmH 2 O.
To view the measured PEEP in the display window:
1) Use the Select button to display the measured PEEP in the display window.
