Simulating Apnea (Respiration Standstill)

Apnea is described as the cessation of breathing. In general there are three types of apnea:

central (often seen in infants, when there is no diaphragm movement and no air flow);

obstructive (where an object, such as food, is lodged in the trachea); and mixed (where

central apnea is followed immediately by obstructive apnea).

The MPS450 offers four apnea simulations that differ from each other only by simulation

length, not by waveform. These four simulations are available as pre-configured, one-

time events (with apnea lasting for a duration of 12, 22, or 32 seconds), plus a continuous

user-controlled apnea.

Action in the Menu-Control Mode

1. Press the top-menu key labeled RESP. If the apnea on/off setting has not been

changed, the LCD screen indicates the default condition with apnea turned off (OFF

APNE).

2. Select APNE to display the LCD screen RESPIRATION APNEA.

3. If the apnea setting has not been changed, the LCD screen references the default

apnea simulation (12 SECONDS). To simulate a one-time event of 12-second apnea,

select RUN. On the LCD screen, ON flashes while the MPS450 counts down and

displays the seconds remaining in the simulation. To repeat the simulation, select

RUN again.

4. For a one-time event of 22-second or 32-second apnea, or for a continuous-apnea

simulation, select PREV or NEXT to scroll to the LCD screen displaying the desired

condition, and select RUN.

5. To terminate a running simulation of apnea at any time (including continuous apnea),

select END.

6. To return to the top menu RESPIRATION, press the ESC key.

Alternatively, in the Numeric-Control Mode, press the number keys for an apnea

condition according to Table 3-5, and select RUN:

Temperature (Adjusting Body Temperature)

All temperatures output by the MPS450 are compatible with Yellow Springs, Inc. (YSI)

Series 400 and 700 probes. The type of probe simulated is based on the type of cable

connected to the MPS450 and/or the input used. (Cables for connection to the 400 or 700

are available directly from Fluke Biomedical.)

The MPS450 simulates four preconfigured body temperatures, which can be applied at

any time while operating the instrument.
