What is a AVEA ventilator?
For clinicians and administrators in the acute care environment, the Avea™ CVS is a comprehensive neonatal through adult ventilation system with the complete package of all advanced features and maneuvers in one device.
What is tcpl mode?
The TCPL mode was commonly used in previous generations of ventilators. In this mode, the gas flow is constant over the whole breath cycle and the operator sets the flow according to the preferred gradient of the slope/ramp on the pressure curve.
What causes high VTE on ventilator?
Kinks in the patient circuit or tracheostomy tube. Water in the ventilator circuit. Increased or thicker mucus or other secretions blocking the airway (caused by not enough humidity) Bronchospasm.
How does PRVC mode work?
PRVC is a controlled mode of ventilation which combines pressure and volume controlled ventilation. A preset tidal volume is delivered at a set rate, similar to VC, but it is delivered with the lowest possible pressure.
What causes high PEEP alarm?
Some causes for high pressure alarms are: Kinks in the patient circuit or tracheostomy tube. Water in the ventilator circuit. Increased or thicker mucus or other secretions blocking the airway (caused by not enough humidity) Bronchospasm.
What is normal VTE on ventilator?
In a normal lung, the VDaw/Vte ratio is between 25% and 30%. In patients with ARDS, a dead space fraction ≥ 60% was associated with higher mortality (2).
What is a normal EtCO2?
End-tidal CO2 – EtCO2 is a noninvasive technique which represents the partial pressure or maximal concentration of CO2 at the end of exhalation. Normal value is 35-45 mmHg.
Why do we use PRVC?
Pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC) is a mode of ventilation in which the ventilator attempts to achieve set tidal volume at lowest possible airway pressure. This mode of ventilation is being commonly used as the initial mode of ventilation in many intensive care units.
What is the difference between pressure control and PRVC?
During PRVC, as with pressure control, there is a maximum pressure difference between the ventilator and the lung at the beginning of the inspiratory cycle. The resulting flow is also maximal. With the increase in intrathoracic pressure this difference diminishes, as does the resulting inspiratory flow.
What kind of medical equipment is Avea ventilator?

How to connect two CareFusion Avea ventilators together?
The output for ILV provides a 5VDC logic signal synchronized to the breath phase of the master ventilator. Page 44 To connect two AVEA ventilators together for independent lung ventilation function, the cable must be wired so that the ILV input (the slave) on one AVEA is connected to the ILV output (the master) on the other AVEA.
Are there variable orifice flow sensors for Avea?
Page 33 Variable orifice flow sensors are also available on some AVEA models. The neonatal VarFlex flow sensor is compatible in neonatal and pediatric applications where the peak inspiratory flow rate is less than 30L/min and is not active in adult applications.
