SETTING UP A COVIDIEN PB 980 MECHANICAL VENTILATOR Part 1: BASIC SETTINGS

[@amy84963]

Many thanks for all your video. I am back to ICU again after 4 years of being away from ICU, and I was almost forgot all about ventilator settings. Watching all your videos make my life easier in ICU.

[@standardmayhem]

Aw George! You were my instructor 20 years ago and you haven't changed (except age comes for us all.) Won't forget you yelling at me for sleeping in class.

[@katybrennan8222]

Cute Ventilator!!!! I love Ventilators!!!!!

[@BayouChic]

Thanks for sharing. Needed a quick in service & this was perfect.

[@GeorgeORRT]

Thanks. Hope all is well and that your safe on the Bayou

[@WillowWandering]

Please do a video using the PB 980 that shows how to place a patient on an SBT trial and if they fail how to immediately place them back on previous settings. Thank you!

[@gisellpacheco8422]

Great video, question how would we change the vent from adult to peds or neonate?

[@teddybear1154]

That’s a good question I would try by IBW input. But we use Servo for our peds/neo population.

[@sinclair657]

Thank you

[@GurunathHari]

is there a screen lock ...? to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes ...

[@janetgray3278]

Great video George...it was helpful. I am not familiar with this vent.

[@GeorgeORRT]

Glad it was of help. The 980 has been around for a few years and is the replacement to the 840. Pretty much the same 840 vent features on a new and improved platform and display. They've incorporated more information on the screen which can make it a bit more cluttered when first using it.

[@christmaszorro]

So, were those settings good for an OD patient?

[@mshilton2373]

Your insp time on these settings is .42?

[@lymint9587]

Red green red light lit up all the time and the medical staff ignore it, is it bad? :(

[@alexyboiz]

What if someone has breath holding or central apnea? Would you be able to click spontaneous time mode? What settings and numbers would you do for it to breathe comfortably like at a low pressure incase someone finds it hard to fall asleep.

[@aprilmartin3548]

Would be great if this showed how to change it from adult to pediatric

[@montadharaltaii7604]

What's the damages of this ventilator please

[@lcortiz2653]

Increasing the sensitivity on this ventilator will it make it hard or easier to trigger?

[@GeorgeORRT]

As you increase the sensitivity for both triggers (flow triggering and pressure triggering) it becomes harder for a patient to trigger a breath. This is specific to this ventilator.

[@lcortiz2653]

@@GeorgeORRT Thank you, I was told that the 840's trigger setting was different from the rest.

[@GeorgeORRT]

@@lcortiz2653 The Servo I is the one that is different . When it reverts into flow cycling, the higher the number the more sensitive it becomes and when you look at the number itself. To top it off, it's not even referencing an actual flow value. Still a great ventilator though.

[@shayne3165]

I need to set up non invasive ventilation/bipap on a covid pt

[@respiratorytherapist2051]

Sir sorry for this out of topic inquiry. Which mode is near to the function of IPAP EPAP on resmed BiPAP S/T when using PB, is it NIV CPAP+PS or NIV SIMV-PC.

[@GeorgeORRT]

NIV CPAP + PS

[@RoyelNotRoyal]

Do you know the rules for each alarm setting in English?

[@alexyboiz]

Can this machine also be setup at home rather than a hospital?

[@nawewan]

no you need high pressure oxygen and medical air connections

[@wochamokyong3079]

How do we change to Neo, pedia, adult

[@gabemarcus7926]

So let me get this straight, there is a company called COVIDIEN that makes ventilators. Coincidence, I think not!

[@ivettemolina3719]

You should change the wave form back to ramp for in the square wave form it will drastically increase the peak airway pressure.

[@valeriesanchez3074]

Irony in the name lol

[@jazzman7167]

Worst vent ever made. RRT

[@lymint9587]

Why is it bad??

[@toneshop]

Social distancing! Stop getting so close:)
