Evone’s FCV^® ventilation mode can be used with any adult endotracheal tube (single or double lumen, at least size 5 mm ID). This mode allows the use of Ventinova’s Tritube, an ultrathin endotracheal tube (outer diameter 4.4 mm) with an inflatable cuff to secure the airway.

 Features

• More efficient ventilation as compared to conventional Volume Controlled Ventilation (VCV) and Pressure Controlled Ventilation (PCV) protocols
• Increase alveolar aeration, lung recruitment and oxygenation in both healthy and diseased lungs
• Because FCV® gradually changes airway pressure and volume over time, this ventilation mode effectively reduces the net energy applied to the lungs as compared to both VCV and PCV
• When using Tritube, the patient can be liberated from ventilation using Evone’s jet ventilation mode with a deflated cuff, reducing cuff-related stimuli in the trachea.
• Patient ventilation independent of airway patency, this with either an obstructed (sealed) airway or open airway.
