Ventilation Modes
The O-Two e700 offers versatile ventilation support, suitable for both invasive (via endotracheal tube) and non-invasive (via mask) applications. In every mode, the ventilator allows for spontaneous breathing: if a patient requires more flow than what’s set, they can inhale additional volume from ambient air. Available Ventilation Modes: ACV (Assist Control Ventilation) Provides mandatory breaths at a set rate, while also assisting spontaneous breaths. SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) Delivers preset mandatory breaths and allows spontaneous breathing between them. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Maintains a continuous pressure throughout the breathing cycle. Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) can be added in this mode. Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) Alternates between two pressure levels for better control of inspiration and expiration. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Mode) Specifically designed for resuscitation scenarios, ensuring consistent support during emergency care. Each mode activates with its default settings when selected. If no changes are made, ventilation will proceed using those pre-configured values.

A/CV Mode
A/CV is the default mode that appears upon startup of the O-Two e700 ventilator. It offers the widest range of settings and can operate in two ventilation types: Volume-Controlled Ventilation (VCV) Pressure-Controlled Ventilation (PCV) 🔄 How It Works: The ventilator delivers mandatory breaths at a preset rate. Patient effort is not required to initiate breaths (but can trigger them if enabled). If the trigger is disabled, breaths will be delivered purely based on time. 🔧 Default Trigger Sensitivity: 3 L/min (adjustable from 1 to 15 L/min) 📋 Main Settings in A/CV Mode: Setting Description VT (Tidal Volume) Sets the volume of air delivered per breath (used in VCV only) Rate Number of breaths per minute MV (Minute Volume) Total air delivered per minute (VT × Rate) I:E Ratio Ratio of inspiration to expiration time TI (Inspiratory Time) Duration of the inspiratory phase PEEP Pressure maintained at the end of exhalation O₂% Fraction of inspired oxygen (choice between 60% and 100%) MV Max/Min Alarm limits for high and low minute volume P Max/Min Alarm limits for high and low airway pressure 🔁 Switching Between Volume and Pressure Control: Volume Mode (default): You set the tidal volume (VT). The ventilator delivers the exact set volume with each breath. Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV): Activated by selecting PCV Pressure. VT setting is disabled. The ventilator delivers air until the set pressure is reached, maintained for the preset inspiratory time. Useful when the patient is completely unable to breathe. Cycle is time-triggered and pressure-limited. 💡 Summary: ACV mode is ideal for patients who cannot breathe adequately or at all. Can be tailored for either precise volume delivery or pressure-targeted support. It provides full control over respiratory support, while allowing optional patient triggering.

CPAP Mode
In CPAP mode, the O-Two e700 ventilator delivers a constant flow of air to maintain positive airway pressure throughout the entire breathing cycle. This is essential for patients who are breathing spontaneously but require assistance in maintaining open airways. How CPAP Mode Works: The ventilator uses a control valve to regulate and maintain the set CPAP level. A continuous flow is provided to ensure a stable pressure environment in the airway. Two Breathing Options in CPAP Mode: PSV = 0 (Dash Displayed) – Flow-Regulated CPAP This is a passive support mode. The ventilator automatically adjusts the flow to maintain an average airway pressure close to the set CPAP value. Appears as a dash when pressure support is set to zero (also seen in SIMV). PSV Set to Value – Active Pressure Support When Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) is set, the ventilator delivers the preset PSV pressure during inspiration (starting from the trigger point) until the exhalation phase begins. Helps patients with weak spontaneous effort by boosting inspiratory flow. Apnea Backup Function Safety Feature: If the patient stops breathing and does not trigger spontaneous breaths within the apnea period (T apnea) set by the user: The ventilator automatically switches to Assist Control Ventilation (ACV). This ensures continuous support in case of patient apnea. 🛠️ Default Trigger in CPAP Mode: Pressure trigger, typically set at 2 cm H₂O. Settings Available in CPAP Mode: Below the CPAP display, the following parameters can be configured: CPAP: Sets the baseline airway pressure. PSV: Defines the pressure delivered during inspiratory support. Trig: Adjusts sensitivity to patient’s inspiratory effort. Termination: Ends the inspiratory phase when a condition is met. FiO₂ (%): Sets oxygen concentration. MV Max/Min: Maximum and minimum minute volume alarms. P Max/Min: Pressure limits to ensure safe ventilation. P Apnea: Time setting that determines when backup mode is activated due to apnea. Backup Settings in CPAP Mode: In preparation for possible apnea and automatic switch to ACV, the following parameters can be pre-set: Rate (breaths per minute) VT (Tidal Volume) I:E Ratio MV (Minute Volume) If not pre-set, the ventilator will use default values based on the selected patient size.

SIMV Mode
The SIMV mode provides a flexible combination of mandatory and spontaneous breaths, adapting to the patient’s breathing efforts while maintaining a consistent backup ventilation rate. How SIMV Works: The ventilator delivers mandatory breaths at a fixed rate set by the user. Between these breaths, the patient is allowed to breathe spontaneously. If the patient initiates a breath before the next scheduled mandatory breath, the ventilator synchronizes and delivers a volume-controlled breath in coordination with the patient’s effort. 🔄 Trigger Sensitivity (Flow Trigger): Default value: 3 L/min Adjustable range: 1 to 15 L/min If the patient meets this trigger condition, the ventilator synchronizes the mandatory breath accordingly. Pressure Support in SIMV Mode During spontaneous breaths, the ventilator can provide Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV): PSV assists patients who can initiate breaths but need help maintaining adequate ventilation. Once the ventilator senses an inspiratory effort, it delivers a constant pressure to support the breath. This reduces the patient’s work of breathing while maintaining respiratory efficiency. ⚙️ Termination (also known as Timation): Adjusts the flow percentage at which the inspiratory phase ends, allowing the ventilator to adapt to the patient's breathing pattern. Available Settings in SIMV Mode SIMV mode includes many of the same adjustable parameters as ACV mode, such as: VT (Tidal Volume) Rate (Mandatory breaths per minute) MV (Minute Volume) I:E Ratio (Inspiratory to Expiratory time) DI (Inspiratory Time) PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) Trigger Sensitivity FiO₂ (%) (Oxygen concentration) MV Max/Min (Minute volume alarms) P Max/Min (Pressure alarms) SIMV is especially useful for weaning patients off mechanical ventilation, offering full support when needed while encouraging natural breathing between assisted breaths.

CPR Mode
The CPR mode on the O-Two e700 ventilator is designed to support resuscitation efforts by synchronizing ventilation with chest compressions, providing audible prompts, visual guidance, and automated breath delivery for both intubated and mask-ventilated patients. 🧍‍♂️ Two Sub-Modes in CPR: Mask-Ventilated Patients (Default Mode) This is the default configuration when CPR mode is activated. CPR is divided into two timed phases: Chest Compression Phase: 30 compressions delivered over 18 seconds Synchronized with audible cues and on-screen visual animations Ventilation Phase: 2 mandatory breaths, each lasting 1 second Delivered over a 5-second window Follows the standard 30:2 compression-to-breath ratio for basic life support. Intubated Patients Can be selected at any time during CPR mode. Features continuous chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute. 1 mandatory breath is automatically delivered every 6 seconds (equivalent to 10 breaths per minute). Also includes audible and visual prompts for compressions. 💨 Ventilation Settings in CPR Mode Default Mode: Flow-controlled ventilation Default Volume: Based on the initial patient size selection (Infant, Child, or Adult) Custom Adjustments: Ventilation volume can be modified if needed after entering CPR mode. 🛠️ Optional Pressure-Controlled Ventilation (PCV): Can be enabled by setting the PCV pressure parameter. When activated, flow-controlled ventilation is automatically disabled. ⚠️ Oxygen Delivery in CPR Mode Oxygen is fixed at 100% FiO₂ to ensure maximum oxygenation during resuscitation efforts. 🧠 Key Takeaways: CPR mode provides a structured, automated sequence for resuscitation. Audible and visual prompts guide the caregiver through compressions and ventilation. Compatible with mask and intubated ventilation strategies. Offers a balance of automation and control, including PCV options.

BiLVL Mode
The Bi-Level mode (also referred to as "By Level") on the O-Two e700 ventilator combines features of pressure ventilation and spontaneous breathing support, making it similar to SIMV, but with more control over inspiratory and expiratory pressures. How Bi-Level Mode Works: The ventilator cycles between two pressure levels: Inspiratory Pressure (Pi) Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) It provides a set number of pressure-controlled breaths per minute, while also allowing spontaneous breathing at any time during the respiratory cycle. 🫁 If the patient breathes spontaneously: The ventilator detects the effort and assists the breath using the PSV (Pressure Support Ventilation) setting. If the patient demands more flow than the ventilator is delivering, they can inhale additional air from the ambient environment via the air filter intake. 🔄 Trigger Sensitivity (Flow Trigger): Default: 3 L/min Adjustable: 1–15 L/min Controls how sensitive the ventilator is to detecting a patient’s inspiratory effort. Key Features of Bi-Level Mode: Hybrid functionality: Allows both mandatory pressure-controlled breaths and spontaneous assisted breaths. Automatic cycle adjustment: The ventilator modifies its timing and flow in real-time based on patient effort. Settings Available in Bi-Level Mode: Setting Description Pi Sets the inspiratory pressure level Rate Sets the number of breaths per minute PEEP Sets the positive end-expiratory pressure I:E Ratio Defines the ratio of inspiration to expiration time Ti Sets the inspiratory time PSV Defines pressure support during spontaneous inspiration Trig (L/min) Adjusts the flow sensitivity for detecting a patient-triggered breath Termination Sets the flow percentage at which the ventilator ends inspiration O₂% Sets the inspired oxygen concentration MV Max/Min Alarm thresholds for minute volume (high and low) P Max/Min Alarm thresholds for airway pressure (high and low) When to Use Bi-Level Mode: Ideal for patients who require pressure-controlled ventilation but can breathe spontaneously between cycles. Offers a more physiological breathing pattern and can help in weaning or supporting patients with variable respiratory efforts.

Live Monitoring
Live monitoring parameters are displayed in Section Two of the ventilator's screen. This section allows the operator to observe real-time outcomes based on settings adjusted in Section Six. These values are continuously updated and provide essential information about the patient's ventilation status. Key Monitoring Parameters 1. MVE (Minute Volume, in liters) Represents the total volume of air exhaled over the last 60 seconds. Calculated using the average of the last eight breaths. Value is recalculated and updated at the end of each exhalation phase. When the unit is first powered on, resumed after a pause, or when a new mode is selected, the minute volume calculation will begin incrementally from the first to the eighth exhalation, then continue as a rolling average. 2. VTE (Tidal Volume Exhaled, in milliliters) Measures the volume exhaled by the patient during a breath. Applies to mandatory, spontaneous, or pressure support ventilation modes. Calculated from the total expired flow. The VTE display updates at the beginning of the next inspiratory phase (immediately after exhalation ends). 3. Paw AV (Average Airway Pressure, in cmH₂O) Represents the average airway pressure over the last 60 seconds. Continuously monitored across all modes. The value is updated every 15 seconds. 4. Paw Peak (Peak Airway Pressure, in cmH₂O) Indicates the maximum pressure during the inspiratory phase. Displayed for mandatory inspiration phases in ACV, SIMV, B-level, and CPR modes, as well as for spontaneous inspiration in CPAP mode. Updated at the end of each inspiratory phase. 5. Rate (Breaths Per Minute, BPM) Displays the number of breaths delivered or initiated in one minute. Calculated using the time between two consecutive breaths (Rate = 60 ÷ breath interval in seconds). Updated after each breath, and reflects both spontaneous and mandatory breathing. Summary The live monitoring section provides immediate, accurate feedback on the patient's ventilatory status, enabling timely clinical decisions. Values update automatically based on real-time measurements and give insight into both spontaneous and controlled ventilation performance.
