Cardiac Bypass - GE Carestation 750 Clinical Reference Manual

Cardiac Bypass

There are two types of cardiac bypass. Manual ventilation cardiac bypass is standard. VCV cardiac bypass is optional.
Manual ventilation cardiac bypass suspends alarms for patients on cardiac bypass when the ventilator is not
mechanically ventilating.
Systems with the VCV cardiac bypass option enabled can mechanically ventilate while in VCV mode. The VCV mode
is the only ventilation mode available while using VCV cardiac bypass.
