8. Real-time indication of how to ventilate:
o A bar graph shows whether the volume insufflated/expired is sufficient:
Orange :
volume insufflated
insufficient.
•
When the user ventilates the patient, the bar graph shows in real time the quantity of air/oxygen that must
be insufflated to the patient based on ERC and AHA guidelines.
Note
•
The bar graph is displayed on each breath and is incremented in proportion to the volume insufflated.
•
During expiration, the bar graph is decremented in proportion to the measured volume of air/oxygen
expired
•
Take care to generate enough flow for the system to detect the insufflation and ensure that it is not
mistaken for an artefact or an involuntary movement of air caused by chest compressions or handling the
bag
o Rate display in continuous mode:
•
In continuous resuscitation mode, EOlife® generates a visual countdown to show the user when to ventilate
to deliver 10 breaths per minute When the green lung is displayed, the user must ventilate the patient
o Display in 30:2 mode:
In 30:2 mode, the rate function is disabled as the person ventilating must wait for 30 chest compressions
before delivering 2 ventilations In this mode the ventilation frequency depends on the person (or machine)
performing the chest compressions
The green lung is shown permanently to indicate that the device is waiting to detect a ventilation to display
the bar graph
Green :
volume insufflated
sufficient.
Red :
volume insufflated
excessive
