Instruction for use Ventrain

Caution! Always observe the patient's chest excursions closely
during ventilation and adjust the time for inspiration and expiration
where needed or use the equilibration position. In case of abdominal
movement immediate re-access position of catheter and re-evaluate
SaO status.

Caution! Tidal and minute volumes are depending on the flow
meter setting, the inspiration time, expiration time and patient
characteristics. For guidelines see Table 2.
Caution! For low compliance situations (e.g. paediatric cases or
collapsed lung (closed chest) ventilation) and/or catheter < 2 mm
inner diameter, apply a flow of max. 6 L/min to avoid excessive
pressure build-up in the oxygen tubing.
Caution! Use of the equilibration position results in fewer breaths
per minute and, consequently, a lower respiratory minute volume.
