PLV*
Pressure Limited Ventilation
Supplementary function for variable limitation
of pressure peaks using the Pmax
pressure limit in ventilation modes IPPV
and SIMV.
The tidal volume remains constant as
long as the pressure curve shows a plateau
and the flow curve shows a brief
flow pause between inspiration and
expiration.
● Activate/deactivate pressure limitation
Pmax, see "Configuration, Set
initial values for O2, I:E...", page 140.
1 When pressure limitation is active,
the value for Pmax is shown in the realtime
curve PAW (t) as a blue line.
2 The screen knob »Pmax« is additionally
displayed in the menu »Ventilator
Settings«.
Volume monitoring is active. The alarm
"Vol. not constant, pressure limited!!" is
automatically triggered if the tidal volume
VT can no longer be applied. This
visual and acoustic alarm can be reset
via the screen key »Alarm Reset« at the
top of the screen until the cause of the
alarm is remedied.
Set PLV with »Pmax«.
