I could use any help from my fellow nurses. I have gone from a facility that used the very nice and very user friendly (in my opinion) Hewlett Packard computerized vent to a facility that uses the Servo 900c. I am now lost and when I asked question of both my current fellow workers and the RT at my facility, no one oculd give me any help on how this critter works or how to tell what the TV, mode and such other info that is needed for report. I figured out where the RR was and I found where the FiO2 is but that is about all I can get. I found a web site on line that had a free interactive on this model vent but I am having issues with DLing the entire program and have contacted the site. In the mean time if anyone has a cheat sheet that they use for just such a beast as this, i would love to obtain the info so that i do not feel so lost. Thanks!

Hey there,

I work in the Adult Surgical Heart Unit. We recover pt's post-op CABG. Because these patients are typically fast track wean to extubate patients, we use the Servo 900. I know that the machine is old and cumbersome but once you figure out how to read it, it is pretty user friendly. PM me and I will give you all the info you need.

Hope this helps~

Hi,

I'm new here. I am still trying to get into nursing but I have info for you. 900c one of the most user friendly interface. Its difficult to set because its a Minute Volume Divider, meaning you set your Vt, RR, etc according to MV. This ventilator is the most fun because once you get the hang of it, its so easy! Calculating parameters on SIMV are not biggie, I have stacks of notes on this topic - on super fast calculations and long way calculations. I have all the SPECS, if you want them just PM me also.
