Which of the following CareFusion V.I.P. Bird Gold Infant Ventilator controls can adjust pres-sure delivery at the beginning of inspiration in the pressure control, volume-assured pressure support, or pressure support mode?
a. Bias flow c. Rise time
b. Assist sensitivity d. Flow display comp
ANS: C
The rise time control adjusts the inspiratory pressure rise time. A setting of 1 is the fastest rise time, and a setting of 7 is the slowest rise time. The bias flow control is always present when the Infant "Smart" Sensor is used and can be turned on or off when the Pediatric "Smart" Sensor is used. The assist sensitivity controls how sensitive the ventilator is to the patient's efforts, and the flow display comp is used to display real-time inspiratory and expiratory flows.
