Daily awakening trials, propofol syndrome, prompt neurological assessment of the ventilated intensive care patient or reduction of symptomatic transitory psychotic syndrome - there are many motivations for the use of volatile anesthetics in the context of intensive care therapy. We have taken up this challenge and implemented a comprehensive strategy for "Safety, including essential performance, for anesthesia workplaces". This is not just about the safe operation of intensive care ventilators and the effects of narcotic gases on the materials of the intensive care ventilator. The anesthetic function compensates for the in- and expiratory resistance on exhalation of the Sedaconda system, thereby avoiding the prolongation of the medium exhalation time, reducing the risk of trapping and warranting the accuracy of the volume measurement.

In combination with the LEOLYZER multi-gas sensor, agent gases can optionally be precisely measured and monitored directly with the elisa.

In the age of lung-protective forms of ventilation, the efficiency of ventilation can be optimized through targeted action on the ratio of dead volume to tidal volume. Capnography as a graphical representation of the expiratory CO₂ concentration is an essential component of bedside monitoring of the ventilated patient. Capnography displays CO₂ kinetics in a non-invasive way and in real time. In daily routine, it is mainly used to identify the successful intubation and to adjust the minute volume to be administered. However, capnography can provide much more far-reaching and additional clinically valuable information, especially in its form of volumetric capnography, which has not yet been widely used clinically. This includes monitoring and optimization of ventilation and assessment of gas exchange. This provides the treatment team with clinical parameters for decision-making at the bedside that could previously only be obtained using more complex, invasive, non-automated procedures.

Automatic regulation of the inspiratory oxygen concentration based on pulse oximetry allows oxygen to be applied in accordance with the guidelines. High O₂ concentrations can cause adverse events. The spectrum ranges from inflammatory reactions of the airways, resorption atelectasis and seizures to increased hospital mortality. During high-flow O₂ therapy and ventilation, oxygen saturation should be closely monitored and the inspiratory oxygen concentration continuously adjusted to the individual therapy range. LEOCLAC uses integrated pulse oximetry to continuously adjust the inspiratory oxygen concentration to the set therapy range. When combined with invasive or non-invasive ventilation and HFOT, LEOCLAC continuously evaluates the quality of the pulse wave and detects possible artifacts. Various sizes and models of SpO₂ sensors are available for LEOCLAC. Pulse rate, O₂ saturation and Pleth curve can be monitored independently of LEOCLAC. An intelligent graph facilitates easy assessment of FiO₂ control.

It is well established that the breath-synchronous collapse and reopening of lung areas in ARDS patients causes considerable damage to the lung tissue and that breath-synchronous opening and closing (alveolar cycling) of lung areas in particular is an independent risk factor for higher mortality. The PEEPfinder can be used to optimize the settings of the ventilator and thus supports lung-protective ventilation. The maneuver is performed in a safe window and can be combined with a preoxygenation function. The upgraded quasi-static PV tool supports the user at assessing stress and strain. Intelligent algorithms and extensive safety functions allow the elastic properties of the lung to be determined easily. Extensive evaluation options are available for this purpose. Graphical evaluation support for detecting inflection points, recording stress indices and saving reference loops make it easy to determine the safe ventilation window.
