1Reply9 years ago | Aisys ET-CO2 Running a test lung/case, can't get the ET/CO2 to over 400, regardless of setpoint. At GE suggestion, I've already replaced the flow control valve in the vent engine. Machine checks, circuit test, low P test all pass. Any suggestions?

5Replies10 years ago | Condensation Excessive moisture buildup during long (6-10 hours)duration cases. To the point that operation of the ventilator is effected. I have the GE condenser on the machine, we use a single limb Westmed circuit. I am aware that the humidity and temp in the OR suite contributes to this issue. Is there a de-humidifier available. Short of actually changing the breathing system during the case, any suggestions. Thanks Update........07/01/2013 For the last several cases, we've been using a twin limb circuit. Moisture buildup has been reduced markedly, but not eliminated. In-line filters will be the next test. KenReply |
The Aisys Carestation includes
Scavenger | Open, Closed or Passive interface |
Weight | 370 lbs |
Vaporizer Type | Electronic control |
Vent Modes | Manual/Spontaneous, Volume Control, Pressure Control, PSVPro® (Pressure Support with Apnea backup), Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV with Volume or Pressure controlled), electronic PEEP |
Monitoring included:
Volume, Pressure, paramagnetic Oxygen (VPO), spirometry, agent analysis, capnography . Optional integrated physiologic monitoring
Ventilator: New model GE 7900 with ascending ("standing") bellows, dual circuit, pneumatically-driven ventilator with tidal volume corrected for leaks, compliance, and fresh gas flow. Variable orifice flow sensors compensate for compliance losses and leaks from their location near the breathing circuit unidirectional valves. Accurate to very low tidal volumes (20-1500 mL). The "bag/vent" switch activates the mechanical ventilator in one step.
Machine checklist: Automated checklist with some manual steps.
Flowmeters: electronic control and capture of FGF. No minimum oxygen flow.
Breathing circuit: The advanced breathing circuit has 2.7 L volume in mechanical ventilator mode, 1.2 L in bag mode (800 gm absorbent). Loose fill granules or prepackaged absorbent.
