In conventional ventilation modes, the clinician sets ventilator controls such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, and expiratory and inspiratory time to achieve clinical targets, including a certain level of oxygenation and alveolar ventilation for the patient.
With INTELLiVENT-ASV (
INTELLiVENT-ASV then automatically selects the ventilator settings in order to reach these targets, taking into account the physiologic inputs from the patient (PetCO2, SpO2, lung mechanics, spontaneous breaths). It also manages the transition from passive to spontaneous breathing ventilation and has integrated tools to promote early, automated weaning. Quick Wean progressively decreases pressure support, screens the readiness-to-wean criteria, and provides an operator-configurable weaning protocol. It can also be set to conduct fully controlled spontaneous breathing trials (SBT).
