Oxygen enrichment for bronchial suction
Oxygen enrichment for
bronchial suction
To avoid any risk of hypoxia during bronchial
suction, EvitaXL offers a procedure
for oxygen enrichment during the
removal of secretions.
After the program is started, EvitaXL ventilates
the patient in the selected ventilation
mode for an initial oxygen
enrichment phase of 180 seconds.
— In adult mode, the ventilator supplies
100 % by volume O2, and in paediatric
mode it delivers the set
O2 concentration plus 25 % (for
example: 60 % by vol. set; administered:
75 % by vol.)
When the ventilator is disconnected for
suction, EvitaXL interrupts ventilation.
During the suction phase, the audible
alarms are suppressed so that the suction
routine is not disturbed.
After suction and automatically recognised
reconnection, EvitaXL delivers an
increased O2 concentration for the final
oxygen enrichment phase of 120 seconds:
— In adult mode, the O2 concentration
is 100 % by volume. In paediatric
mode, the enriched concentration is
25 % higher than the set O2 concentration.
During suction and for 2 minutes afterwards,
the lower alarm limit for the
minute volume is switched off. Other
alarms are switched off during suction
and for 15 seconds afterwards.
Oxygen enrichment is only possible
with a fully functioning flow sensor
and if flow monitoring is switched on!
