Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Provide heated, humidified high flow oxygen and some positive airway pressure. Description A system that delivers warmed, humidified oxygen at high flow rates through wide bore nasal cannulae to improve oxygenation, reduce work of breathing, and provide modest positive airway pressure in hypoxemic respiratory failure, postextubation support, and palliative care. … Read more
Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Provide controlled respiratory support in respiratory failure. Description A complex machine that delivers controlled volumes or pressures of gas and oxygen to support or replace spontaneous breathing in patients with respiratory failure, during anesthesia, or in critical care. Ventilators offer multiple modes (volume control, pressure control, spontaneous modes) and alarms … Read more
Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Provide two level positive airway pressure for hypoventilation and COPD exacerbations. Description A noninvasive ventilatory support device that delivers higher inspiratory positive airway pressure and lower expiratory pressure to assist ventilation in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure, COPD exacerbations, or neuromuscular weakness, improving alveolar ventilation and reducing work of breathing. … Read more
Category Respiratory Support Typical Use Deliver high concentration supplemental oxygen in acute hypoxemia. Description A face mask with a reservoir bag and one way valves that provides high inspired oxygen fractions FiO2 for patients with moderate to severe hypoxemia while allowing exhaled gas to escape through exhalation ports, used in emergency and prehospital settings for … Read more
