The document provides an overview of the UAM ventilator, including a description of its key features and specifications. It discusses how to set up and start the ventilator, calibrate the flow sensor, select ventilation modes, change between modes, and adjust alarm settings. The ventilator can be operated on battery power and provides measurements of ventilation parameters on its display. It supports volume-controlled, pressure-controlled, and spontaneous breathing modes.

UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV
The UAMV supports:
• Pressure-Controlled Ventilation
• Volume-Controlled Ventilation
• Spontaneous Breathing
Key Specifications
• Tidal volume: 50 – 1000mL
• Minute volume: 1 – 10 liters per minute
• Pressure control: 10 – 30cmH2O
• I:E ratio: 1:1 – 1:3
• Breathing rate: 5 – 30 BPM
• Displays: Flow and pressure vs. time
Other Features
• Accepts fixed and variable PEEP
valves
• Mechanically driven, no need for
high-pressure gas
• Back-up battery for up to 6 hours
• Triggered breath sensing – patients under anesthesia
generally do not try to breathe for themselves
• AC/SIMV/PS – all require triggered breaths
• PEEP – can be achieved with a PEEP valve
• CPAP/BiPAP – not feasible with a mechanical vent
THE UAMV DOES NOT
AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE:

5. Starting the UAMV: Setup
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 5
The UAM’s bellows isolator switch
must be in the VENTILATOR position
(toward machine) when using the
ventilator and in the BELLOWS
position (away from the machine)
when using the manual bellows
The breathing circuit MUST be
disconnected from the patient when
starting up the ventilator. The bellows
moves up and down but you will get
an error message if it is connected.

6. Starting the UAMV: Connection Points
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 6
Ventilator Drive Hose
Connects the ventilator to
the UAM breathing block
Flow Sensor
Two tubes attach to the
patient circuit – proximal to
the patient should always be
blue and distal to the patient
should always be clear
If these are attached
incorrectly you will get
an error message on
the UAMV

7. Starting the UAMV: Flow Sensor Placement
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 7
Blue: Should
always be proximal
to the patient
Clear: Should
always be distal to
the patient
The flow sensor must
be placed between the
Y-piece and the
bacterial filter

10. Using the UAMV: Flow Sensor Calibration
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 10
1. Disconnect the drive hose from the rear of the
ventilator and attach the red plastic adaptor
2. Connect the patient flow sensor with the clear
tubing facing the ventilator
3. Press the “Flow Cal” button
4. Press “Calibrate Patient Flow”
5. “Yes” to start calibration of the inspired flow
6. When prompted, turn the flow sensor around to
calibrate the expired flow and press “Continue”
7. Reconnect drive
hose to rear of ventilator
Conduct weekly!

11. Using the UAMV: Flow Sensor Calibration
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 11
The next learning unit will show a video demonstrating how
to calibrate the UAMV flow sensor.

12. Using the UAMV: Ventilation Modes
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 12
VOLUME CONTROL PRESSURE CONTROL SPONTANEOUS
• Patient breathes with no
assistance from UAMV
• UAMV measures volume,
peak, and mean airway
pressure
• An apnea alarm will sound
if patient stops breathing
• A pressure limit can be set
so that it alarms when limit
is exceeded
• Set target pressure
is achieved as
quickly as possible;
tidal volume will
vary
• Set target pressure
is maintained for the
remaining
inspiration time
• Delivers a set tidal
volume; user chooses
respiratory rate
• If set volume is
reached early or if the
set pressure limit is
exceeded, then the
inspiration phase will
end at that time

13. Using the UAMV: Changing Between Modes
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 13
1. Press the new
mode desired
2. Press “Change
Mode”
3. Press “Ok” when
prompted

14. Using the UAMV: Alarms
UAM Simulation-based Training I Lecture Content | Overview of UAMV 14
Alarms Based on

• High Tidal Volume
• Low Minute Volume
• High Minute Volume
If all parameters within limits, the
NO ALARMS reading will appear
If any parameter is out of range the text in
the box will turn red with the ALARM NAME
Alarms Based on
Automatic Values
