Horacio... When you hit an AUTOSET feature, the ventilator looks at what the patiests Peak Pressure reading is at that time and AUTOSETS usually 10 above.... the ventilator will not keep adjusting it's high pressure alarm... its only when you manually hit the AUTOSET button. If your in PCV and say your PIP's are 25... the AUTOSET feature will set your high pressure at 35.... AUTOSET will also pre-set your high and low Minute Volume and high/low resp rate. I hope this helps answer your question. | ||

Sorry if I offend some, but a good RT does not it that button... You should always see alarms as your angel when your not there... if it does not ring, you w'ont be called... Set the alarms clinically, thinking about the patient illness, state, ventilatory strategy, etc. | ||
