I have a respiratory competency class coming to use the HPS. They want to go from normal sats to 89% then once a respiratory treatment is given they wish to have sats go up to 98%. The HR part is down to 35 then slowly up to 140. I have no problem with the HR as it can be done through fixed HR as that is easy. Does anyone know the best way I can achieve the sat changes. I have tried several ways and came close as I just looking for ideas to try. :)

The easiest way to decrease oxygen saturation level is to use the Shunt Fraction parameter. This is found under the Respiratory Tab/Respiratory Control sub tab. By increasing this parameter you will achieve a decrease in oxygen saturation. Thus by decreasing the shunt fraction, the oxygen saturation level will increase.

Wendy,
I have done this and it works great. I had to play with it to get the sat numbers needed and I think I dialed it in. Thanks ;)
