Precautions Appropriate Monitoring

This equipment must only be used under the supervision of The built-in monitoring facilities of the Savina ensure
qualified medical staff, so that if any faults or malfunctions appropriate monitoring of ventilation therapy and therefore
occur, help is available immediately. detect any undesirable changes in the following ventilation
parameters:
This equipment must not be used with flammable gases — airway pressure, Paw
or anaesthetic agents. Danger of fire! — expiratory minute volume, MV
— inspiratory O2 concentration, FiO2
Do not use the apparatus in conjunction with nuclear
— inspiratory breathing gas temperature, T
spin tomography (MRT, NMR, NMI).
— apnoea
The apparatus may malfunction, causing danger to the
— tachypnoea monitoring
patient.
Do not use the equipment in hyperbaric chambers. Changes in these parameters may be caused by:
The apparatus may malfunction, causing danger — acute changes in the patient’s condition
to the patient. — incorrect settings and faulty handling
— equipment malfunctions
Avoid pollutants in the ambient air. — failure of power and gas supplies
Savina uses ambient air for ventilation.
Pollutants would enter the patient’s body. In the event of a problem with the integrated monitoring:
● separate monitors must be used.
Interference with operation of the apparatus may be
caused by the use of high-frequency electrical surgical
equipment, defibrillators or short-wave treatment
equipment, thereby putting the patient at risk.
Do not use mobile phones within a distance of 10 metres Back-up ventilation with an independent
from the equipment. manual ventilation device
Mobile phones can cause interference with electrical
and electronic medical apparatus, thereby putting patients If a fault is detected in the Savina so that its life-support
at risk!* functions are no longer assured:
● start ventilation using an independent ventilation device
without delay, if necessary with PEEP and/or increased
inspiratory O2 concentration (e.g. with the Dräger
Resutator 2000).
The following points should be noted if ventilating while

travelling:
● Do not place Savina on the bed while travelling.
● Ensure the apparatus cannot fall or be knocked over.
● Protect the apparatus from splashes and rain, to

avoid risk of malfunction. Savina is not splashproof.
During transport conditions, e.g. in an aircraft, hoses may

start to vibrate and thus affect the flow measurement.
When using Savina in combination with other products or

during transport, the operator must secure the equipment
appropriately to comply with the relevant basic
requirements of Directive 93/42/EC.
* Dräger medical equipment fulfils the interference resistance
requirements according to the product-specific standards or
EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 601-1-2). However, depending on the design
of the mobile phone and circumstances of use, field strengths may
occur in the immediate environment of a mobile phone that exceed
the limits of the above standards and therefore cause interference.

Medicament nebulization
Applicable in every ventilation mode.
Will only function with O2 supply between 2.7 to 6 bar.
Savina applies the medicament aerosol in synchronization

with the inspiration only in the inspiratory flow phase and
automatically maintains the minute-volume constant.
Savina automatically turns the nebulizer off after 30 minutes.
The flow sensor will be automatically heat-cleaned and
calibrated after the aerosol treatment to prevent false results
during flow measurement.
● Danger of fire! Do not nebulize flammable

medicaments.
Since Savina uses pure oxygen for the medicament

nebulization, an increase of the desired inspiratory
O2 concentration may be caused.
Due to the inability of Savina to measure this O2 concentration

increase, an incorrect O2 reading will be displayed.
Only use medicament nebulizer 84 12 935 (white

centerpiece).
Use of other pneumatic medicament nebulizers may result
04337261
in considerable discrepancies in the minute-volume
reading!
● Connect your O2 supply 2.7 to 6 bar – from the medical O2

pipeline system or from a cylinder, to the side of Savina.

When the ventilator is disconnected for suction, Savina

automatically interrupts ventilation. During the suction phase,
the alarms "!!!Apnoea", "!!!Fail to cycle", "!!!Airway pressure low"
and "!!!MV low" are suppressed so that the suction routine is
not disrupted.
After suction and automatically recognized reconnection,

Savina ventilates 120 seconds with 100 Vol.% O2. During
suction and for two minutes afterwards, the lower alarm limit for
the minute volume is disabled.
● Connect your O2 supply 2.7 to 6 bar – from the medical

Operation
Calibrating O2 sensors
Savina uses one O2 sensor for O2 control and display
(sensor 1) and a second, separate O2 sensor for O2 monitoring
(sensor 2).
The O2 sensor for O2 control and display (sensor 1)

is automatically calibrated by Savina:
— when the apparatus is switched on
— after 8 hours’ operation
— when the O2 sensor is replaced
— if sensor 1 and sensor 2 differ from each other by more
than 2% by volume
— when the air pressure changes by more than 200 hPa,
e.g. during transfer flights by helicopter
— when the temperature changes by more than 10 oC.
During automatic calibration, the following message appears in

the information line on the screen:
O2 calibration active
After calibration is complete, the following message appears:

O2 calibration ok
The O2 sensor for O2 monitoring (sensor 2) has to be

calibrated manually:
— once per month,
— if the following alarms occur:
!!! FiO2 high
or
!!! FiO2 low
or
!!! O2 measurement inop.
● Manual calibration can be carried out in any ventilation

mode, see page 49.
43
Operation
At high ambient temperature

In ambient temperatures over 35 oC Savina displays an
advisory message:
! Temperature high
To prevent the breathing gas becoming too hot, Savina reduces
the maximum speed of the built-in blower as the ambient
temperature rises. If high inspiratory pressures are set at the
same time, e.g. over 80 mbar, the result may be that high flows,
e.g. 180 L/min, can no longer be achieved.
Even at slower speeds, the breathing gas delivered by the
blower is warmed. To ensure that the breathing gas
temperature at the Y-piece remains under 41 oC, an inspiratory
hose length of not less than 1.1 m should be maintained as a
cooling section.
If the temperature sensor built into Savina reaches over 40 oC,
an alarm will be activated
!!! Temperature high
If an operational temperature sensor* is used in the Y-piece,
Savina will warn of breathing gas temperatures of 40 oC or
higher by activating the alarm
!!! Breathing gas temp. high
In both cases, Savina continues ventilating the patient.
● Lower the ambient temperature.
In the event of a power supply failure

If all external and internal power sources fail, an intermittent
audible alarm sounds.
● Either immediately reconnect power supply
or
● Disconnect patient and continue ventilating using an
independent ventilator.
In the event of a gas failure

In normal operating mode, Savina uses ambient air to ventilate
the patient with the aid of a blower and O2 from the medical gas
pipeline system or from an O2 cylinder.
In the event of O2 failure

Savina replaces the missing proportion of O2 with ambient air
and generates an alarm.
The minute volume remains constant.
The inspiratory O2 concentration FiO2 drops to 21 Vol.%.
* See Order List on page 126. Only use temperature sensors with
blue leads.
44
Operation
If the patient needs an inspiratory O2 concentration higher

than 21 Vol.%:
● reconnect the O2 supply without delay.
In the event of blower failure Savina cannot carry on

ventilating.
● Continue ventilating without delay, using an
independent ventilator.

Care
Disinfecting/Cleaning/Sterilising
Use surface disinfectants. For surface compatibility, use
disinfectants based on:
— aldehydes,
— quaternary ammonium compounds.
Due to possible damage to the materials, do not use any

preparations based on:
— Compounds containing alkylamine
— Compounds containing phenol
— Halogen-releasing compounds
— Strong organic acids
— Oxygen-releasing compounds
For users in the Federal Republic of Germany, we recommend

that only disinfectants on the current DGHM list are used
(DGHM: German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology).
The DGHM list (published by mhp-Verlag, Wiesbaden) also
classifies each disinfectant by its active agents. For countries
where the DGHM list is not available, we recommend the types
of disinfectant given above.
Disinfectants often contain – besides their main active agents

– additives that can also damage materials.
● If in doubt, ask the supplier/manufacturer of the
disinfectant/cleaning agent.
● Do not sterilise parts in ethylene oxide!

Ethylene oxide can diffuse into the parts.

2 Unscrew screw, using a coin or similar object, and remove
cover plate.
3/4 Remove used O2 sensor from housing
3/4 Slide new O2 sensor into respective housing for
"Sensor 1" or "Sensor 2". Turn using light pressure
until the O2 sensor slides further into the housing.
2 Screw cover plate into place. 3 4
Sensor 1
is automatically calibrated after fitting.
1
Sensor 2:
● Allow not more than 20 minutes warm-up time to elapse,
then
● calibrate manually, see page 49.
The internal battery supplies the two O2 sensors with current

even when Savina is switched off. This enables Savina to
2
054 29 170
supply valid O2 measured values as soon as it is switched on.
If the internal battery is discharged, Savina does not supply any
O2 measured values for the first 20 minutes after switching on.
The O2 dosage operates at reduced accuracy during this time.
Using an external battery

Either 12 V batteries or 24 V batteries can be connected as
the external battery.
The use of 24 V batteries (two 12 V batteries arranged in
series) with a minimum capacity of 15 Ah each is
recommended.
With batteries of this type, the efficiency of the DC power
supply and the associated operating time is considerably
greater than with 12 V batteries of comparable capacity.
77
Care
Correct disposal of batteries and O2 sensors

Batteries and O2 sensors:
● Do not incinerate or throw in fire; risk of explosion.
● Do not open using force; risk of caustic burns.
Batteries must be disposed of as special waste:

● Information may be obtained from the local environmental
and public health authorities or from approved waste
disposal companies.
O2 sensors:
● can be returned to Dräger Medical AG & Co. KGaA.
Correct disposal of internal battery

Savina contains permanent batteries that contain harmful
substances.
● The permanent batteries containing harmful substances
that are fitted in Savina should be removed and disposed of
by Dräger Service.
Important when storing Savina

If Savina is stored for longer than 1 month without power:
● Remove fuse for internal battery. This avoids undesirable
total discharge of the internal battery, which would
otherwise constantly supply the O2 sensors with current.
006 29 170
Correct disposal of apparatus

— at the end of its useful life.
● After contacting the competent waste disposal company,

hand over Savina for appropriate disposal. The applicable
legal regulations must be observed.

● Push bacterial filter on to inspiration port.
034 37261
81
Preparation
Note on the use of expiratory bacterial filters

The use of expiratory bacterial filters on the ventilator is not
recommended.
However, if a bacterial filter is used on the expiration side, an
undesirable increase in breathing resistance may occur.
Especially during medicament nebulisation and humidifying,
the resistance of the bacterial filter may increase gradually. For
the patient, the effect may be increased breathing effort and
intrinsic PEEP.
1 An intrinsic PEEP can be recognised by the fact that the f

expiratory flow does not return to "0" before the end of Flow
expiration.
1
If PEEP is unacceptably high, the unit signals the t
»!!! PEEP high« alarm.
04037388
The current PEEP is then approximately 8 mbar higher than
the PEEP set.
● Check the bacterial filter and replace it if it is the cause

of the PEEP alarm.
Note on the use of heat and moisture

exchangers
The use of a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) in the patient
connection of the Y-piece can considerably increase breathing
resistance.
An increase in breathing resistance will in turn lead to greater
effort in spontaneous breathing and/or greater trigger effort
during assisted ventilation. Under unfavourable conditions, an
increase in breathing resistance can lead to an unwanted
intrinsic PEEP.
This breathing resistance in the patient connection cannot be
directly monitored by the ventilator.
Therefore:
● The condition of the patient and the ventilator's measured
values for air volume must be checked more frequently.
● Follow the Instructions for Use of the heat and moisture
exchanger (HME).
● Do not use the heat and moisture exchanger (HME)
together with a medicament nebulizer or humidifier!
This can increase the breathing resistance.
● The inspiratory breathing gas warmed by the built-in

blower is appropriately cooled when using the
ventilation hoses indicated. If shorter hoses are used,
the breathing gas temperature at the Y-piece may
exceed the permissible limit, thus putting the patient at
risk.
82
Preparation
Positioning the humidifier

Depending on the desired position of the ventilator in relation
to the bed, the hinged arm can be fitted to either side of the
machine.
Attachment on right-hand side:

● Turn both ports to the left.
● Turn Aquapor to the left.
The following description applies when the ventilation hoses

have been attached to the left-hand side.
For ventilating infants

● Use a suitable humidifier, e.g. Fisher & Paykel MR 730 with
humidifier chamber MR 340
and
● use suitable ventilation hoses, see Order List on page 126.
If using heated paediatric hoses with internal hot wires,

please note:
In the event of Savina failure, high breathing resistance is
to be expected in spontaneous breathing.
Fitting the Aquapor humidifier

● Aquapor should only be used at ambient temperatures
below 30 oC, to avoid the risk of overheating of the
breathing gas in the event of Aquapor failure.
● Prepare Aquapor in accordance with the separate

instructions for use.
● Monitor the breathing gas temperature.
1 Hang the Aquapor with a bracket to the mounting and
tighten the screws.
2 Insert elbow connector into Aquapor.
3 Insert double nozzle into elbow connector.
● Fill Aquapor tank with sterile distilled water to the upper
level. 3
● Do not use an additional heat and moisture exchanger 2
(HME) at the same time as a humidifier.

● Connect external battery to device via DC battery cable S

(84 14 092) or connect DC on-board network to device via
DC on-board network cable S (84 14 048).
The plug on the connecting cable that plugs into the Savina
is coded. This enables Savina to detect whether an external
battery or a DC on-board network is connected.
● Ensure polarity is correct.

black = –
red = +
If an external battery or DC on-board network is wrongly
connected, the device will ignore it!
● Insert plug into DC socket on rear of device.

86
Preparation
Internal batteries
In the event of a mains power failure and if the external battery
is discharged or not connected or in the event of failure of the
DC on-board network, Savina automatically switches over to
power from its own internal batteries.
Active power supply display

The status of the power supply is indicated by three lamps
at the right of the rotary knob.

Use of power sources

Savina automatically prioritises the use of the power sources.
Mains supply:
If a mains supply is available, Savina automatically switches to
mains voltage and charges the internal and external batteries.
● The device should only be left connected to the power

supply in well-ventilated rooms.
Electrolytic gas is produced when the battery is charging,
and in the right concentration this can cause an explosion.
External battery or DC on-board network:

In case of mains power failure, if direct-current voltage is
connected Savina automatically switches to the external battery
or DC on-board network.
Internal battery:
If neither a mains power supply, an external battery nor
the DC on-board network is available.
87
Preparation

When operating with a mains power supply, the internal battery
055 37261
is automatically charged first. Once this has been charged
(lamp shows green), the external battery is automatically
charged.
Savina automatically detects the voltage of the external

battery (12 V or 24 V).
Once the respective battery is fully charged, trickle charging

takes place:
Savina charges the battery to counteract running-down.
Operation with an external battery or DC on-board network

In the event of a mains power failure, Savina seamlessly
switches over to the external DC power supply connected.
This may take either of two forms:
— Supply from external battery

or
— Supply from DC on-board network
Savina detects whether an external battery or the DC on-board

network is connected. This prevents Savina from charging the
DC on-board network.

● Acknowledge message = press »Alarm Reset« key.

The following advisory message is displayed:
! Int. battery activated
The operating time with an external battery depends on the

state of charge and type of battery connected:
With a fully charged 24 V battery with 17 Ah, the operating
time is about 7 hours.
Savina detects when the external battery is discharged and
switches over to the internal battery.
When a mains voltage becomes available again, Savina
automatically switches over to mains power supply, charging
the internal battery first and then the external battery.
When the power source is an external battery, the internal

battery is not charged. Only trickle charging takes place.
● Immediately reconnect Savina to mains power supply to

fully recharge the internal and external battery again.
Operation with the internal battery

In the event of a mains power failure, if no external battery is
connected or if the external battery is discharged, Savina
seamlessly switches over to the internal battery.

89
Preparation
The operating time with the internal battery depends on the

state of charge:
With a new, fully charged battery the operating time for typical
ventilation is about 60 minutes.
After about 25 minutes’ operating time, a caution message

is displayed:

● Immediately reconnect to a power supply from the mains or

a charged external battery or from the DC on-board network
to prevent any interruption to ventilation.
After operating the Savina with an internal battery:

● Reconnect Savina to the mains voltage in order to charge
the internal battery and, if applicable, the external battery
again immediately.
When the power source is an external battery, the internal

battery is not charged. Only trickle charging takes place.
When the power source is the DC on-board network,

the internal battery is charged.
The charging time is around 5 hours.
● Always ensure the internal battery is charged from the

mains or from the DC on-board network. The internal
battery supplies the two O2 sensors with current even when
Savina is switched off. This enables Savina to supply valid
O2 measured values as soon as it is switched on. If the
internal battery is discharged, Savina does not supply any
O2 measured values for the first 20 minutes after switching
on, and the O2 mix operates at reduced accuracy during
this time.
90
Preparation
O2 supply
Compressed O2 must be free of dust and oil and must
be dry. Gas pressure must be 2.7 to 6 bar.
● Screw the O2 hose on to the side of Savina. Connect up O2

from the medical gas pipeline system or an O2 cylinder.
In the case of a supply from an O2 cylinder, the reserve gas
should be calculated. See "Expected operating time when
using an O2 cylinder supply".
A 90o connector is available for the O2 threaded
connection on the device; see order list.
After an O2 concentration is set, it takes 3 minutes for this
concentration to be reached, due to the mixing process.
The mixing process may take longer with minute volumes
less than 2 L/min.
The "O2 high" or "O2 low" alarm indicates that the
053 37261
O2 concentration set has not been reached within
this time.
Expected operating time when using an O2

cylinder supply
When using an increased O2 concentration (greater than
21 % by vol.) Savina ventilates with a mixture of air (delivered by
a blower) and O2.
When using an O2 cylinder supply, the maximum possible
operating time depends on the O2 reserve (as well as on the O2
concentration and the ventilation parameters).
For example:
Cylinder pressure measured at the pressure regulator on the
O2 cylinder: 200 bar
O2 cylinder capacity: 3 L
O2 reserve: 200 bar x 3 L = 600 L
Expected operating time with the following parameters:

— Ventilation mode : »IPPV«
— Frequency »f « : 10 bpm
— Tidal volume »V T« : 600 mL
— Minute volume »MV« : 10 bpm x 0.6 L = 6 L/min
— Selected O2 concentration
»O2« : 50 % by vol = O2 fraction: 0.5
The device allows for the O2 concentration of 21 % by vol. in
the air.
91
Preparation

=
0.29 x 6
= approx. 340 min
= approx. 5.6 h
With a higher O2 concentration, the operating time is reduced

accordingly.
Once the reserve O2 from the cylinder has been used up, the
O2 concentration is reduced to 21 % by vol. Otherwise, the
ventilation parameters are unchanged.
● Do not place any liquid container (e.g. infusion

container) above or on top of Savina.
Any leak, spill or seepage could prevent it working
properly, and endanger the patient.
Nurse call system

Optional
Connection for redirecting alarm signals to a clinic-internal
central alarm system can be found on the rear side of Savina.
● Installation of the supplementary equipment should be

carried out by experts.
● The 6-pin round plug (female) should be connected to the 5
clinic-internal central alarm by experts.
When Savina displays an alarm message, the connection 3-5 is 3

closed and the nurse call system is active.

expiration as soon as the set tidal volume V T is applied. In this Flow
case the inspiration time is not adjustable, but it is the result of
the compliance and resistance of the patient’s lungs together
with the set values tidal volume V T and flow acceleration. The
value for Tinsp is shown on Values screen 2/2. Savina t
establishes a minimum expiration time of 500 ms and limits the
045 37388
resulting I:E ratio to max. 4:1.
Flow Acceleration
With the parameter »FlowAcc« the pressure and flow increase
can be influenced. A greater Flow acceleration produces a
steeper pressure and flow increase. Flow acceleration (and
the inspiration time) can be used to adapt the pressure and
flow curve to suit the individual patient’s needs.

The mandatory ventilation stroke begins when the patient
reaches an inspiratory flow corresponding at least to the flow

Sigh (intermittent PEEP)

"Sigh", in the form of intermittent PEEP, is operative in IPPV

The purpose of the expiratory sigh during ventilation is to open
collapsed areas of the lung, or to keep open "slow" areas of interm.

Since atelectatic alveoli have a longer time constant – also
caused by obstructed bronchioles – increased airway
PEEP
pressure maintained over a longer period is required to
open them.

t
In many cases, the sigh function is achieved by increasing
the ventilation stroke; however, due to the short time available,
this form of sigh only marginally improves the filling of the
"slow" alveoli.
In Savina, the sigh operates during expiration with an
intermittent PEEP. It is set relative to PEEP (∆ sigh).
The average airway pressure is higher, and a longer filling
time is normally available.
When the sigh is activated, the end-expiratory pressure
increases every 3 minutes by the intermittent PEEP set
for 2 ventilation strokes.

Savina automatically controls the inspiration flow so that there

is no pressure peak caused by the resistances of the tube and
the airways. The plateau pressure Pplat varies with changes in
compliance C, as is normal in all constant-volume ventilation
strokes. With AutoFlow, these variations occur in maximum
steps of 3 mbar between ventilation strokes. The plateau
pressure Pplat is automatically limited by the pressure
limitation Pmax = Paw W –5 mbar.
If the tidal volume V T is reached (inspiration flow = 0) before

the inspiration time has elapsed, the patient can breathe in and
out during the remaining inspiration time at the level of the
plateau pressure Pplat.
If the patient breathes in or out during mandatory inspiration,

the plateau pressure Pplat is not changed for this ventilation
stroke. Only the inspiration and expiration flow are adapted to
the patient’s demand. The individually applied tidal volume V T
may differ from the set tidal volume V T in specific ventilation
strokes, but on average over time a constant tidal volume V T is
supplied.
The exceeding increase of the tidal volume V T can be

Starting behavior of AutoFlow

Upon switching on the function AutoFlow Savina applies
the set tidal volume V T using a volume-controlled breathing
stroke.
The plateau pressure Pplat derived from this breathing stroke
serves the function AutoFlow as starting value for the
inspiration pressure.
Settings to suit the patient’s needs

The Start of the mandatory inspiration can be synchronized
with the patient’s inhalation effort with the help of the variable
flow trigger. The flow trigger can only be completely turned off
in IPPV (IPPVAssist –> IPPV).
The steepness of the pressure increase from PEEP level to the

inspiration level can further be adapted with the ventilation
parameter FlowAcc in SIMV and IPPV to suit the patient’s
needs.

To prevent the mandatory ventilation stroke being applied
during spontaneous expiration, the Flowtrigger of the machine
ensures that the ventilation stroke is triggered within a "trigger
window" and synchronised with the patient's spontaneous
inspiration.
The "trigger window" is no longer than 5 seconds. If the
expiration times are less than 5 seconds, the trigger window
covers the entire expiration time, less a minimum expiration
time of 500 ms.
Since the synchronisation of the mandatory ventilation stroke

reduces the effective SIMV time and therefore would normally
result in an undesirable increase in the effective IMV
frequency, Savina adds in the reduced SIMV time by
prolonging the subsequent spontaneous breathing phase by
the SIMV time difference ∆ T – thus preventing an increase in
SIMV frequency. The frequency parameter f remains constant.
This parameter, in combination with the tidal volume V T, sets
the minimum ventilation. If the patient has breathed in a
considerable inspiratory volume at the beginning of the trigger
window, the machine reduces the subsequent mandatory
ventilation stroke by shortening the time for the inspiratory flow
phase and the inspiration time. In this way, the tidal volume V T
remains constant, and over-inflation of the lungs is avoided.
During the spontaneous breathing phases, the patient can be

assisted by ASB pressure support.
In the course of progressively weaning the patient from

artificial ventilation, the ventilation frequency f is further
reduced while the spontaneous breathing time is increased,
so that the required total minute volume is supplied more and
more by spontaneous breathing.
The ventilation frequency can be reduced to 2/min.

thus reached)

warns of a possible leak in the ventilation system.
In »Mask/NIV« mode the »Tinsp« key is used to set the
maximum duration of the ABS stroke.
103
Description
BIPAP (optional)
The BIPAP ventilation mode is a pressure-controlled/time-

cycled ventilation mode in which the patient can always
breathe spontaneously. BIPAP is therefore often described
as a timed alternation between two CPAP levels.*
The time-cycled change of pressure produces controlled

ventilation corresponding to the pressure-controlled ventilation
PCV. However, the constant option of spontaneous breathing
allows the transition from controlled breathing to independent
spontaneous breathing to take place smoothly over the course
of the weaning phase, without requiring any change in the
ventilation mode. To adapt easily to the patient's spontaneous
breathing pattern, the change-over from expiratory pressure
level to inspiratory pressure level, and also the change-over
from inspiratory pressure level to expiratory pressure level, are
synchronised with the patient's spontaneous breathing.
The frequency of the change-over is kept constant, even with

patient synchronisation, by defining a trigger time window with
a fixed time constant.
This smooth adaptation to the patient's spontaneous breathing

requires less sedation, so that the patient returns to
spontaneous breathing more rapidly.
As in all pressure-controlled ventilation modes, the patient is

not prescribed a fixed tidal volume (V T). The tidal volume
results principally from the pressure difference between the
settings for PEEP and Pinsp and also lung compliance.
The display of the tidal volume measured on expiration, V Te, is

used to set the required difference between the two pressure
levels. Any increase in this difference will cause an increased
BIPAP ventilation stroke.
Changes in lung compliance and airways, as well as active

'fighting' by the patient can lead to changes in tidal volume.
This is a desired effect in this ventilation mode.
With the knowledge that the tidal volume, and therefore the
minute volume, are not constant, the alarm limits for minute
volume must be adjusted with care.

The steepness of the pressure increase to ASB pressure f
∆ PASB above PEEP is also controlled by the »FlowAcc«
setting.
The transition from controlled ventilation via the weaning
phase to fully spontaneous breathing is achieved by a
gradual reduction of the inspiratory pressure Pinsp and/
or frequency f.
Automatic leakage compensation

Savina determines the difference between the inspiratory
metered flow and the expiratory measured flow. The difference
provides an indication of the extent of leakage and is
designated leak minute volume, MVleak. The leak minute
volume MVleak is taken into account for trigger detection, for
optimum synchronisation of the ventilator with the patient.
Automatic leakage compensation for trigger detection

In order to synchronize with the patient’s efforts to breathe in
and out, Savina detects volume and flow values caused by the
patient. In order to optimize synchronisation, the measured
flow values are automatically corrected to take account of the
leakage flow, up to a maximum of 10 L/min.
Monitoring leakage
In »Tube« mode if Savina detects a major leak in the system,
the message »! Leakage« appears. In this case the tube and
patient hose system connections should be checked for
tightness.
105
Description
NIV – Non-invasive ventilation (optional)

With the NIV option, Savina offers an application mode
optimized for non-invasive ventilation using a nose or face
mask. Greater leakage generally occurs with non-invasive
ventilation than with ventilation via a tube. In »Mask/NIV«
mode, therefore, automatic leakage compensation for trigger
detection, alarms and monitoring are adjusted to these special
conditions. Additionally, in volume-controlled ventilation
modes Savina automatically compensates for volume lost due
to leaks.
Automatic leakage compensation for trigger detection

As with invasive ventilation with Savina, automatic leakage
compensation takes place with respect to the trigger criteria in
»Mask/NIV« mode. Savina takes account of leakage up to
25 L/min for trigger detection purposes.
Alarms
During non-invasive ventilation in »Mask/NIV« mode, some
alarm limits are not needed in certain circumstances or cannot
be monitored due to big artefacts. For example, in the case of
very big leaks it is often not possible to measure any expiratory
minute volume. If this alarm were not switched off, the device
would generate alarms all the time. The following alarms can
therefore be deactivated in »Mask/NIV« mode:
— Minute volume low
— Tidal volume high
— Apnoea detection.
Non-invasive ventilation with the alarms switched off is only
permissible if the patient’s safety is not put at risk.
The »!!! Airway pressure low« alarm can be delayed by up to
60 seconds. This is done by setting a delay time TDisconnect
from 0 to 60 seconds on an additional screen page
»Alarms 2/2«. For example, with a setting of 10 seconds the
patient can remove the mask for up to 10 seconds before
Savina activates an »!!! Airway pressure low« alarm.
Because leaks are normal in non-invasive ventilation, the
messages "! Leakage", "! ASB >4s" and "!!! ASB > 4s" are not
displayed in this mode.
Monitoring
Savina provides an additional Values page in »Mask/NIV«
mode. Among other things, this shows the leak minute volume
MVleak as a percentage of the measured minute volume.
The tidal volume VTpat indicates the volume actually reaching
the patient. VTpat is the delivered tidal volume less the volume
lost due to leakage during inspiration.
106
Description
Automatic volume compensation

If volume-controlled ventilation modes (IPPV, SIMV) are
applied in »Mask/NIV« mode, Savina increases the applied
tidal volume V T by the amount lost due to leakage during
inspiration. If a tidal volume V T of 500 mL has been set and
50 mL are lost during inspiration, Savina will automatically
deliver 550 mL. Because unlimited leakage compensation is
not advisable, Savina compensates for leakage up to 100 % of
