Looking at the Servo 300 panel, find the letter that denotes the knob or digital readout that you need to answer these questions.

1. If you need to change the flow rate, what 2 knobs do you select?  

H or I

2. If you need to change from complete ventilation to a weaning modality where do you go?

G

3. If you need to read the Peak pressure, where do you look?

AA

4. If you need to calculate lung compliance, what 2 indicators do you look at?

CC & Q

5. If you need change the rate of the A/C breaths, where do you go?

H

6. If you need to change the SIMV rate, where do you go?

L SIMV

7. If you need to make the patient’s flow rate more comfortable for him, what do you adjust? [Two possibilities]

I [change flow rate]  or  J change rise time

8. If you need to make the inspiratory time longer, what do you adjust?

Ti%

9. [refer to above question] As soon as you do that, you check what indictor to read the Ti?

Gg [ digital indicator]

10.  [refer to above question] As soon as you read the inspiratory time, you go where to check the effect this change had on the flow rate?

ii

11. If you need to change from a Fi02 of 30% to 50%, what do you adjust?

Vi

12. [refer to above question] After you made this adjustment, where do you look to make sure it has happened?

V2

13. To silence the alarms, you hit what button?

W

DD

20. Where do you set the PS?

D

21. Where do you read the PS pressure?

AA or at hh

22. Where do you read the PS Vt?

Q

23. Where do read the return Ve? 

R

24. Where do you set the high Ve alarms?

S

25. Where do you set the low Ve alarms?

T

26. Where do you read these Ve alarms you set?

V3

27. What adjustment do you make in order to calculate static compliance?

J

28. Where do you read the SIMV returned Vt?

Q

29. [Tricky]What two digital indicators do you compare to determine the existence of a small leak in the endotracheal tube?

Compare P to Q should be close

30. If an alarm is going off and X₃ is blinking, what happened?

Ve is too low or too high

31. If an alarm is going off and X₂ is blinking, what has happened?

Fi02 is too high or too low

32. How long does the alarm silence stay quiet?

For 2 minutes

33. Why cannot you change the flow curves on this ventilator?

Each mode has a flow curve that is preset.
