Dräger AutoFlow
AutoFlow is a new advance in volume controlled modes of mechanical ventilation where the ventilator automatically
regulates inspiratory flow.
This auto regulation is in accordance with the set VT and current lung compliance.
The set VT is always given at minimum possible pressure and spontaneous breathing is possible (open valves) through the whole
Inspiratory and Expiratory phases of the mechanical ventilatory cycle. A decelerating flow pattern reduces Peak pressures and
as lung compliance changes further they are recognized and responded to. AutoFlow is a new addition to all volume-controlled
modes on Drager’s Evita 4 and Evita 2 dura ventilator. AutoFlow is intended to simplify strategies in mechanical volume controlled
ventilation by offering more patient benefits with a wider therapy range and with less parameters to adjust.
