Simplify transition to high flow oxygen therapy with the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator
HFOT (flow rates up to 60 L/min) has become an alternative to conventional/low flow oxygen therapy due to its heated, humidified oxygen that is well tolerated by ICU patients. Read about the benefits of HFOT in this data sheet, so you may help lower the risk of re-intubation after mechanical ventilation2.
CARESCAPE R860 ventilator with integrated O2 Therapy provides:
- Seamless transition from mechanical ventilation to oxygen therapy without changing your breathing circuit – single-limb and dual-limb!
- Unique Circuit Pressure bar graph to alert you to any occlusions before the patient desaturates
- Swipe-screen navigation that displays trend lines to help track patient transitions and progress

Lung Protective Ventilation
Help reduce pulmonary complicationsVentilator-induced lung injury can occur if pressure and volume settings on the ventilator are not individualized for each patient. To prevent barotrauma and atelectasis3, especially in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator has a number of lung protection tools that may help you. Read this data sheet for a quick overview.
Quickly set up a lung protective ventilation strategy using advanced tools that:
- Visualize lung compliance and track pressure delivered to the lungs with the SpiroDynamics™ Sensor System
- Determine functional residual capacity (FRC) in ventilation (EELV)4 modes using the FRC INview™ Software
- Quickly perform sequential FRC measurements at increasing or decreasing PEEP levels with PEEP INview™ Software
See how a lung protective strategy was used to help COVID-19 patients in this webinar presented by Professor Luciano Gattinoni.

Lung Protective Strategies in the ICU
Intuitive, individualized weaning with the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator
Help your patients reduce their length of stay by assessing their ability to wean off mechanical ventilation.5,6 Liberate your patients using an easy-to-follow weaning tool on the CARESCAPE R860 Ventilator. The Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) mode allows you to administer trials in a simple, consistent manner, while providing trends to assess patient progress. By using a standardized weaning protocol, ICU clinicians can reduce the amount of time spent weaning by 78%.7
Clinicians can easily set SBT mode Stop Criteria such as:
- SBT duration
- Apnea time
- High and low expired minute volume
- High and low respiratory rate
If a patient fails their SBT, then the ventilator automatically resumes previous mechanical ventilator settings, freeing you to attend to other patients and work tasks. Use the Trends screen to track patient progress.
See how simple it can be to assess if your patient is ready to wean off the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator when you watch “Weaning from mechanical ventilation”.

Nutrition Therapy Support - may help reduce length of stay
Length of Stay: Calculate the ICU impact
Evidence-based nutrition assessment using Indirect Calorimetry has been shown to potentially reduce LOS in the ICU as much as 2.9 days1
- Approximately 40 - 50% of ICU patients are malnourished. 2,3,4
- Malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. 5-11
- Predictive equations are accurate 30% of the time. 12,13,14
- Average cost $4,772 per day. 15

Assess caloric needs using indirect calorimetry
Finding the right nutritional balance is critical to accelerating a ventilated patient’s recovery.1,2 Leverage an integrated respiratory module and Indirect Calorimetry software on the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator to help assess if you are overfeeding or underfeeding your patient. By continuously capturing gas exchange and energy consumption you can quickly tailor nutrition therapy for each patient. The system measures inspired O2 (VO2) and expired CO2 (VCO2) to calculate the Resting Energy Expenditure (EE) and the Respiratory Quotient (RQ).
When to use Indirect Calorimetry3
- In patients with known nutritional deficits or derangements
- When patients fail attempts at liberation from mechanical ventilation
- When the need exists to assess the VO2 to evaluate the hemodynamic support of mechanically ventilated patients
- To determine the causes of increased ventilatory requirements

Neonatal Option
The ventilation requirements for neonates are very different from the needs of adults. That’s why it’s important to have a Neonatal option designed to meet the specific physiological needs of the neonate.
With the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator, validated to treat these vulnerable patients, special color-coding distinguishes this NICU option from other ventilators in your fleet. And specialized ventilation modes are included that help transition neonatal patients off of mechanical ventilation. Modes like Volume Support help support spontaneous breathing. The mode nCPAP, with the option of setting Rate and Pressure, can help support the baby non-invasively and prevent intubation. Split screen view supports four Spirometry views, as well as the ability to select up to four waveforms and seven measured views.
By precisely tailoring ventilation to serve the sensitive needs of neonates, you can expand your diagnostic therapy capability.
