can be set RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Flow pattern Determined by 100% or air mix setting due to effects of back pressure on the Venturi gate 100% - square wave, flow remains constant in the face of back pressure - "flow generator" Air mix - decaying flow curve due to partial closure of Venturi gate Due to back pressure, flow decreases as pressure increases RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Pressure pattern Determined by flow pattern 100% source gas rectilinear Air mix parabolic RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Internal resistance How the flow curve is effected by back pressure Air mix – low flow pattern is much effected by back pressure RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Principles of Operation Magnetism versus gas pressure Two chambers of machine divided by a diaphragm Left side: same as atmospheric pressure Right side - same as system pressure RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) On inspiration, diaphragm is drawn to the right by decreased system pressure when patient initiates a breath As pressure builds up on pressure side, the diaphragm is pushed back to the left over-coming pressure of the magnetic pull of the switch plate A ceramic switch is moved by diaphragm which turns gas flow on and off RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Specifications Flow is variable and adjustable Peak flows on 100% 0-50 LPM Peak flow on air mix 0-80 LPM Venturi gate Open -2 cm H2O Closes at 2cms H2O lower (Venturi gate spring resistance) then peak or set pressure RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Air Mix controller Determines 100% source gas or air mix Air mix If O2 is the source gas, FIO2 will be 0.4 to 0.8 The machine functions as a pressure generator 100% FIO2 will be FIO2 of source gas The machine functions as a flow generator RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Nebulizer drive Nonadjustable FIO2 will be FIO2 of source gas Breaks off gas flow before Venturi Pressure Located on right side of ventilator Adjustable 0-60 cmH2O (Mark-7, 8, 10) In mmHg Mark-14 The closer the magnet to the clutch plate the higher the pressure required to cycle RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Sensitivity Adjustable on ambient (left) side of machine The closer the clutch plate to the magnet, the less sensitive or more pressure required to initiate inspiration Apnea Timer Works off of a small leak altering pressure internally Allows machine to be used for A/C or control modes Not used for routine IPPB RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Bird Mark 8 Has negative expiratory pressure capabilities Used Q circuit set-up Not normally used for IPPB RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Bird Mark 10 Has flow accelerator Increases flow at end inspiration to compensate for leaks RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Bird Mark 14 Has higher pressure capabilities, flow accelerator No negative pressure RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bird Mark 7 & 8 (10 & 14) Circuit Large bore tubing Side stream or mainstream Exhalation valve One small bore tubing with "Y" to allow delivery to exhalation valve and nebulizer Mouthpiece, mask or trachea adaptor RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bennett Ventilators Classification Positive pressure Pneumatically powered AP series is electrical Pneumatically driven Bennett Valve Single circuited Modes Assist: only for IPPB Assist/Control: not for IPPB treatments RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bennett Ventilators Classification Flow cycled Pressure causes flow to drop to 1-3 LPM and ends inspiration PR-2 can be time cycled Pressure limited: Preset control pressure Decaying flow pattern Parabolic pressure pattern Low internal resistance: back pressure greatly influences flow pattern RT 210 Hyperinflation TX Bennett Ventilators Classification Method of Operation Bennett valve -
