Alternate Ventilation
•To avoid patient death or serious injury, ventilator-dependent patients require immediate access to alternate ventilation
equipment, such as a back-up ventilator or manual resuscitator.
•Qualified personnel should monitor ventilator-dependent patients continuously. Personnel should be prepared to provide
alternate therapy in the event of ventilator failure or inoperative equipment.
Alarms
•Do not rely on any single alarm to detect a disconnected circuit.
•Respond immediately to any high priority alarm. It may indicate a potentially life-threatening condition.
•Visually monitor the patient and ventilator at all times during an Alarm Silence period. Allowing alarms to continue
without intervention may result in harm to the patient.
•If the high-priority Low Battery alarm occurs, immediately connect the ventilator to an alternate power source. If no
alternate power source is available, immediately place the patient on an alternate source of ventilation.
•When using a remote alarm, make sure you fully test the remote alarm connector and cable by verifying that:
-You can hear the ventilator’s audible alarms on the remote alarm.
-The remote alarm signals when you disconnect the remote alarm cable from the ventilator or from the

3. Therapy Modes and Controls
Overview
Trilogy Evo Universal therapy modes can be used for invasive and noninvasive ventilation with all circuit types, including mouthpiece ventilation.
Breath Types
Trilogy Evo Universal can deliver the following breath types:
o Mandatory: Ventilator-initiated, time-cycled
o Assist-Control: Patient-initiated, time-cycled
o Spontaneous: Patient-initiated, patient-cycled
Triggering and Cycling
Patient triggers
Auto-Trak is a flow trigger with rules that make patient-triggering and cycling more comfortable for the patient. The system uses multiple
algorithms to detect the start and end of the breath. Also, it automatically adjusts the trigger and cycle sensitivity to optimize synchronization
between the patient and the ventilator.
Sensitive Auto-Trak is a more sensitive version of Auto-Trak
Flow trigger initiates a breath when the patient’s inspiratory effort creates a flow equal to or greater than the flow trigger sensitivity setting. A
lower number is more sensitive. As inspiratory flow begins to decrease, the device cycles to expiration when the patient flow is less than the
percentage of peak flow, based on the flow-cycle sensitivity setting.
Ventilator trigger
Time Trigger is time-based, defined by the Breath Rate setting.
Flow patterns
Ramp wave pattern: airflow starts high and decreases throughout inspiration of the breath.
Square wave pattern: airflow is generally constant throughout inspiration of the breath.
Therapy Modes Overview
Control Modes: breaths are assist-control or mandatory.
• A/C-PC: Assist control – assist-control and mandatory breaths with pressure control
• A/C-VC: Assist control – assist control and mandatory breaths with volume control
Spontaneous modes: the patient initiates all breaths.
• CPAP: Continuous positive airway pressure
• PSV: Pressure support ventilation

PSV: Pressure Support Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:
PSV mode is patient-triggered, pressure-limited, and flow-cycled. With this strategy, breaths are assisted by a set inspiratory pressure that is
delivered until inspiratory flow drops below a set threshold.
In the PSV mode, the ventilator delivers spontaneous, pressure-supported, breaths and user-initiated mandatory breaths. The ventilator functions
as a demand flow system, with the patient triggering breaths and determining their timing and volume. The ventilator can support the breaths with
the set pressure support.
The Pressure Control setting defines the applied pressure above PEEP. The patient determines the breath timing. As in other dual limb modes, you
also set PEEP, inspiratory trigger, and O2. It is recommended that you set backup ventilation in PSV mode.

SIMV-PC: Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation- Pressure Control
DESCRIPTION:
SIMV-PC mode is a pressure control mode that provides a mixture of mandatory and spontaneous breaths. SIMV-PC mode guarantees one
mandatory breath in each cycle. Spontaneous breaths can be delivered with pressure support. The breath rate determines the length of the cycle.
The first phase of the cycle is reserved for synchronizing a mandatory breath with patient effort. If the patient triggers a breath during this phase of
the cycle, the ventilator delivers a synchronized mandatory breath. If a patient does not trigger a breath during the mandatory phase of the cycle,
then the ventilator delivers a mandatory breath. Breaths triggered by the patient after the mandatory breath in the cycle are spontaneous breaths.
This process is repeated at the start of every cycle.

Therapy Features
The following features are available in addition to the therapy modes.
Backup Ventilation Enable
DESCRIPTION
Set the device to deliver ventilator-initiated breaths when patient-initiated breaths are not detected, based on the Apnea alarm interval. When you
turn Backup Ventilation on, set an Apnea interval in the alarm settings tab. Within the apnea interval; if no breaths are triggered by the patient, the
ventilator delivers breaths at the set pressure or volume based on the Backup Rate. When an Apnea alarm occurs, the ventilator automatically
starts backup ventilation. When two consecutive patient-initiated breaths are detected, the ventilator automatically reverts to patient-initiated
breaths.
Backup ventilation settings take precedence over standard therapy mode settings.

Dynamic Therapy Parameters
It is unnecessary to perform an inspiratory hold to assess the plateau pressure and other lung parameters. The advanced measurement system of
Trilogy Evo estimates lung compliance, airway resistance, AutoPEEP and plateau pressure during normal mechanical ventilation without requiring a
static maneuver.
Dyn R
Airway resistance is the opposition to the motion of gas within the airways. In the Measured and Calculated Parameters window, this value is Dyn R
(dynamic resistance), so named because it is estimated without requiring a static maneuver.
At the end of inhalation, Trilogy Evo estimates the airway resistance by computing the ratio between the driving pressure from within the lung to
the air flow. The flow term is corrected to take into account the contributions of the following:
• Intrinsic PEEP, by subtracting the expiratory flow at the end of exhalation
• The elastic recoil of the lungs, by adding the tidal volume divided by the respiratory time constant, τ.
(Respiratory time constant is the airway resistance times the summed compliance of the lung and chest wall)
Trilogy Evo calculates Dyn R using the following formula:
=
Where:
• PIPis the peak inspiratory pressure (pressure at the end of inhalation)
•
•
•
•
is the extrinsic pressure (pressure applied by the ventilator) at the end of the breath
is the tidal volume
(
= ) is the patient flow at the end of the exhalation (EOE)
(
= ) is the patient flow at the end of inhalation(EOI)
To understand the calculations adopted to compute Dyn R, note that the above equation can be rewritten as the classic equation for airway
resistance:
−( + + / )= ∗
That is to say, pressure across the resistance equal to resistance times flow, where:
•

(

()
Dyn C
Lung Compliance is the ratio between the tidal volume and the changes in pressure. In the Measured and Calculated Parameters window, this
value is Dyn C (dynamic compliance), so named because it is estimated without requiring a static maneuver.
Trilogy Evo estimates the integrated compliance of the pulmonary system, (the summed compliance of the lung and chest wall). The compliance of
the respiratory system can be derived from the measurement of plateau pressure,

Dyn Pplat
Plateau pressure is the pressure applied to small airways and alveoli during positive-pressure mechanical ventilation. In the Measured and
Calculated Parameters window, this value is Dyn Pplat. Having already estimated the compliance (Dyn R and Dyn C above), Trilogy Evo calculates

AutoPEEP
Intrinsic PEEP, , is the resistive pressure at the end of exhalation (EOE), that occurs when a new breath is initiated before the previous breath
is completed. In the Measured and Calculated Parameters window, this value is AutoPEEP. AutoPEEP can be used as a guide to detect the presence
of dynamic hyperinflation. In most cases, this number represents the pressure in the small airways at the start of the breath in excess of the PEEP
applied by the ventilator. In some cases, such as a ventilated, complex, COPD patient, the displayed pressure may not be accurate. However, in
these complex cases, any non-zero pressure displayed (accurate or not) indicates the presence of AutoPEEP. When Auto PEEP is zero, this
indicates that there is no intrinsic PEEP.
Trilogy Evo calculates AutoPEEP using the following formula:

Overview
Trilogy Evo Universal generates audible and visual alarms to alert you when conditions require attention.
Warning: To prevent death or serious injury, monitor the patient and the ventilator regularly in order to determine the need to provide emergency
ventilation when an alarm sounds or the ventilator malfunctions. Always test the alarms after changing the circuit or prescription.
alarms chosen for circuit disconnect protection.
Alarm settings are retained when power is lost.
Do not rely on any single alarm to detect a disconnected circuit. Certain components may affect the performance of the alarms chosen
to signal that a circuit is disconnected. Use the apnea, low tidal volume, low minute ventilation, and low respiratory rate alarms in
conjunction with the circuit disconnect alarm. Test these alarms daily and after you change ventilator settings.
About Alarms
When an alarm is active, the following indicators occur:
• An Alarm List appears in the menu bar.
• An Alarm light bar flashes red or yellow, or glows steady yellow, depending on the alarm level (To configure this indicator, see chapter 7,
“Device Options.”
• The Alarm Silence button on the device flashes red or yellow, or glows steady yellow, depending on the alarm level
• An audible alarm sounds.
Trilogy Evo Universal uses three alarm levels:
• High Priority – Requires an immediate response
• Medium Priority – Requires a prompt response
• Low Priority – Requires awareness.
Trilogy Evo Universal also shows system messages to inform you about changing conditions. These messages are described in “Alarms and System
Messages.
When an alarm or system message becomes active, Trilogy Evo Universal stops the screen saver and disables the automatic screen lock.
When external monitors are used, such as an FiO
connection. Alarm settings are stored in the system so if a sensor becomes disconnected, the alarm settings are restored upon reconnection. To
delete external monitor alarm settings, clear all patient data according to the procedure described in the “Device Operation” chapter.
Some patient-related alarms have configurable settings, while others have fixed settings. All system and power alarm settings are fixed. Trilogy Evo

Calibration
Circuit Calibration Concepts
The Trilogy Evo Universal is optimized for circuits that are within the specifications shown in the Circuit section of the Accessories chapter. If you
want to use a different circuit, you can perform an optional Circuit Calibration, intended to characterize compliance and resistance. The circuit
calibration process includes the following procedures, based on the type of prescription:
Depending on the circuit type:
• Active circuits: calibrates according to the results of the leak test, compliance, and resistance
• Passive circuits: calibrates according to the compliance and resistance
When you start the circuit calibration, follow the instructions on the screen as the system completes the tests.
If the calibration is successful, then you will see a confirmation message.
If the circuit fails any part of the test, the reason appears in the window. Adjust the circuit and repeat the calibration. If you repeat the calibration
but the circuit still fails, you can either replace the circuit and try again or you can use the default settings.
Information about the circuit calibration is recorded in the Event Log. For more information about the Event Log, see “Alarm and Event Log” in the
“Alarms” chapter.
CALIBRATING A CIRCUIT
Requirements:
- The patient’s demographics and prescription are entered into the system

Patient Circuits
For instructions on attaching circuits to the ventilator, see the “Device Setup” chapter.
Circuit Principles
Each patient circuit has a different compliance and resistance. During Circuit Calibration, the ventilator verifies that the maximum pressure drop
does not exceed the specifications below. For optimal performance, calibrate the circuit before using it with a patient. See “Circuit Calibration” in
the “Device Options” chapter.
When adding any components to the breathing system, the flow resistance and dead space of the added components such as humidifiers, speaking
valves, Heat Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) and filters should be carefully considered in relation to the potential for adverse effects on the patient’s
ventilator management and device alarms.
If a breathing system filter is exposed to nebulization or humidification, to prevent increased resistance or blockage, the breathing system filter
requires replacement more frequently.
Circuit Requirements
For safe operation, the ventilator requires a patient circuit and filter(s) that meet the following requirements.
Compliance: up to 4 ml/cmH
Inspiratory/Expiratory Resistance
• Pediatric/adult circuit (20-22 mm): less than 5 cmH
• Pediatric/adult circuit (19 mm): less than 5 cmH
• Infant/pediatric circuit (14-16 mm): less than 5 cmH
• Infant/pediatric circuit (9-13 mm): less than 5 cmH

Leak Compensation
The passive circuit provides leak compensation for inhaled and exhaled tidal volume measurements. This includes compensation for intentional
leak in the patient circuit and leaks that occur at the patient interface, such as cuff leak or mask leak.
The active flow and dual limb circuits compensate for leak that occurs between the ventilator and the external flow sensor. Leaks that are
downstream of the external flow sensor are not compensated for in measurement of inhaled or exhaled tidal volume.
Leak compensation is not available in the active PAP circuit.

Oxygen
Adding Oxygen to the Device
Delivered oxygen concentration varies with changes in flow in the circuit. The following may have an impact on oxygen concentration:
• Pressure settings
• Patient Tidal Volume
• Peak Inspiratory Flow
• I:E Ratio
• Respiratory rate
• Circuit leak rate
• Oxygen flow rate
Low Flow Oxygen Warnings
•When administering fixed-flow supplemental oxygen, the oxygen concentration may not be constant. The inspired oxygen concentration
will vary, depending on the pressures, patient flow, and circuit leak. Substantial leaks may reduce the inspired oxygen concentration to
less than the expected value. Use appropriate patient monitoring, such as pulse oximeter with alarm, as medically indicated.
• This device DOES NOT alarm for loss of the low flow oxygen supply.
• Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high-pressure oxygen source.
• The device may result in incorrect flow and tidal volume measurements and improper operation of related alarms if you add low flow
oxygen directly into the patient circuit or mask instead of directly adding it into the oxygen inlet on the back of the ventilator.
•Turn off oxygen when the device is not in use. When the device is not in operation and the oxygen flow remains on, oxygen delivered into
the tubing may accumulate within the device’s enclosure.
•Do not operate the ventilator in the presence of flammable gasses. This could cause a fire or explosion.
To add oxygen to the circuit, the oxygen supply must comply with the local regulations for medical oxygen. The oxygen
flow into the oxygen valve cannot exceed 30 l/min and the pressure cannot exceed 10 psi. For instructions, see the “Device
Setup” chapter.
