8. Real-time indication of how to ventilate:
o A bar graph shows whether the volume insufflated/expired is sufficient:
Orange :
volume insufflated
insufficient
volume insufflated
•
When the user ventilates the patient, the bar graph shows in real time the quantity of air/oxygen that must
be insufflated to the patient based on ERC and AHA guidelines
Note
•
The bar graph is displayed on each breath and is incremented in proportion to the volume insufflated
•
During expiration, the bar graph is decremented in proportion to the measured volume of air/oxygen
expired
•
Take care to generate enough flow for the system to detect the insufflation and ensure that it is not
mistaken for an artefact or an involuntary movement of air caused by chest compressions or handling the
bag
o Rate display in continuous mode:
•
In continuous resuscitation mode, EOlife® generates a visual countdown to show the user when to ventilate
to deliver 10 breaths per minute When the green lung is displayed, the user must ventilate the patient
o Display in 30:2 mode:
In 30:2 mode, the rate function is disabled as the person ventilating must wait for 30 chest compressions
before delivering 2 ventilations In this mode the ventilation frequency depends on the person (or machine)
performing the chest compressions
The green lung is shown permanently to indicate that the device is waiting to detect a ventilation to display
the bar graph

Red :
volume insufflated
Green :
excessive
sufficient
9. Alarm signal display area:
o "Good ventilation": all the ventilation parameters calculated are within the appropriate range of values as
defined in the international guidelines
o "Insufficient volume": the volume of air insufflated to the patient is significantly lower than the values given
in the international guidelines
o "Excessive volume": the volume of air insufflated to the patient is significantly higher than the values given
in the international guidelines
o "Low frequency": the ventilation frequency is much significantly than the values given in the international
guidelines
o "High frequency" (for continuous mode): the ventilation frequency is significantly higher than the values
given in the international guidelines
o "Important leakage": the difference calculated between the volume of air/oxygen insufflated and the volume
expired is too great This may be because the mask is not positioned correctly, due to improper intubation
Note
See details of alarms in "X 1 c) Alarm conditions and alarm signals"
(oesophageal intubation) or because the ventilation circuit is not properly sealed
10. On the basic interface: displays an operating instruction based on the resuscitation mode chosen instead of the
Vi, Vt and Freq values
