Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CareFusion Pulmonetics LTV 1150 Ventilator?
The CareFusion Pulmonetics LTV 1150 is a lightweight, portable life-support ventilator designed to provide invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation for infant, pediatric, and adult patients. It was developed as an evolution of the highly successful LTV 1200 platform, offering many of the same advanced ventilation features in a compact package for hospitals, transport, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care, and home ventilation.
What type of ventilation does the LTV 1150 provide?
The LTV 1150 supports both:
- Invasive ventilation through an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy
- Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) using a mask interface
Its flexibility allows clinicians to care for patients in both acute and long-term respiratory care settings.
What ventilation modes are available on the LTV 1150?
The LTV 1150 supports multiple ventilation modes, including:
- Assist/Control (A/C)
- Control
- SIMV
- CPAP
- Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV)
- Volume Control (VC)
- Pressure Control (PC)
- Pressure Support (PS)
- Spontaneous Breathing
These ventilation options allow clinicians to customize therapy for a wide range of respiratory conditions.
What patient sizes can use the LTV 1150?
The LTV 1150 is designed for infant, pediatric, and adult patients weighing 5 kg (11 lbs) and above. During startup, clinicians can choose Infant, Pediatric, or Adult presets to simplify configuration and optimize ventilator settings.
Does the LTV 1150 have an internal air compressor?
Yes. The LTV 1150 uses an integrated turbine, allowing it to operate without requiring a hospital wall air source. Supplemental oxygen may be connected when higher oxygen concentrations are prescribed.
Can the LTV 1150 be used for transport?
Yes. The LTV 1150 weighs approximately 14.5 pounds and is specifically designed for portability. It is commonly used during intra-hospital transport, ambulance transport, air medical transport, rehabilitation, and home care.
What monitoring capabilities does the LTV 1150 provide?
The ventilator continuously monitors:
- Peak Inspiratory Pressure
- Mean Airway Pressure
- PEEP
- Respiratory Rate
- Exhaled Tidal Volume
- Exhaled Minute Ventilation
- I:E Ratio
- Peak Flow
- Auto-PEEP
- Static Compliance
- Patient Effort
These monitoring parameters assist clinicians in evaluating ventilation effectiveness and patient response.
Does the LTV 1150 include spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) functionality?
Yes. One of the primary improvements over earlier LTV models is the inclusion of Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) functionality. The LTV 1150 also includes internal PEEP, ventilator presets, variable rise time, leak compensation, and additional clinician customization features.
Does the LTV 1150 store patient trends?
The ventilator records treatment information and supports trend review when used with compatible accessories and clinical software. This allows clinicians to review therapy performance and patient progress over time.
How long does the battery last?
The LTV 1150 operates from AC power and supports the optional SprintPack® Lithium-Ion Power System, providing approximately 5 hours of portable battery operation, depending on ventilator settings and battery condition.
What alarms are included?
The LTV 1150 includes comprehensive audible and visual alarms, including:
- High and low airway pressure
- High and low minute ventilation
- High and low respiratory rate
- High and low PEEP
- Apnea
- Circuit disconnect
- External power failure
- Low battery
- Ventilator inoperative alarms
Alarm limits are configurable to meet patient-specific requirements.
What circuits are compatible with the LTV 1150?
The LTV 1150 supports invasive and noninvasive patient circuits appropriate for infant, pediatric, and adult ventilation. Circuit selection depends on the prescribed therapy and patient application.
Can the LTV 1150 be used for home ventilation?
Yes. The LTV 1150 was specifically designed to transition patients from the hospital to the home while maintaining familiar ventilator settings. It has been widely used by home ventilation providers caring for patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation.
