Increased flow means we need to humidify for our patients! 30  Vapotherm – 5 to 40 LPM @ up to 99% relative humidity – Vapor transfer cartridge (0.01 microns) – Rain-out is minimized – Up to 40 LPM via NC, 20 LPM via transtracheal catheter 31 Vapotherm Precision Flow 32 Vapotherm Cartridge 33 Fischer & Paykel AIRVO 2 34 Fischer & Paykel OptiFlow 35  High-Flow Oxygen Delivery Systems Venturi or HAFOE Mask 36  Venturi/HAFOE Mask Jet cleaves RA & uses viscous shearing to entrain Ratio of air entrainment to O2 flow: L of air entrained = 1.0-FIO2 L of O2 FIO2-0.21 (FIO2 = desired concentration) 37 38  Let’s Do the Math A patient is ordered a 40% venti mask. She is breathing @ a rate of 18 bpm w/ a minute volume of 8L & an I:E ratio of 1:2. Is the device providing adequate flow if the flowmeter is set @ 8LPM? 39  Entrainment Ratios Oxygen Percentage Air:O2 Ratio Total Parts 100 0:1 1 70 0.6:1 1.6 60 1:1 2 50 1.7:1 2.7 40 3:1 4 35 5:1 6 30 8:1 9 28 10:1 11 24 25:1 26 40 Cool Mist Aerosol w/ Venturi Helps reduce swelling by promoting vasoconstriction of blood vessels 41  High-Flow Oxygen Delivery Systems Anesthesia Bag-Mask Systems – a.k.a. “flow-inflating bag” (vs. self-inflating) – Drawbacks: Cannot bag sans gas source – Benefits: 100% FiO2 Can “feel” lung compliance 42 Flow Inflating Bag 43  Oxygen Enclosures or Environmental Devices Incubator Head Box or Oxyhood Mist Tents 44  Oxygen Enclosures or Environmental Devices Incubator – Controls infant environmental T0 & FIO2 – Frequent hands-on care reduces efficiency of O2 regulation 45 Incubator 46 Infant Temperature Regulation Brown Fat White Fat 47  Oxygen Enclosures or Environmental Devices Head Box or Oxyhood – Encloses infant’s head – Flow adjusted to prevent entrainment – Gas is premixed (blender), heated, humidified – Often used w/ incubator – Must analyze O2 near head! Variations in O2 concentration may occur Layering 48 49 Gas Densities O2: 1.429 g/L Air: 1.29 g/L CO2: 1.98 g/L He: 0.1785 g/L N2O: 1.98 g/L NO: 1.34 g/L What do gas densities tell us about the layering effect? O2 Analyzation 51 Head Box 52  Oxygen Enclosures or Environmental Devices Mist Tents – a.k.a. “croupettes” – Primarily used for aerosol therapy – FIO2 may be somewhat controlled Nursing care Difficult to seal 53 Croupette for infants 54  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Definition – defined by the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) – exposure of a patient or patients to a pressure greater than one atmosphere absolute while breathing 100% oxygen either continuously or intermittently – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wrLfZ4jI O0 55 Physiological Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Trapped Gas Bubbles, When Exposed to the Increased Pressure during Hyperbaric Treatment, Will Decrease in Size (Boyle’s Law) Supersaturation of Plasma with Oxygen – Up to 1500 mmHg – Improved O2 transport Increased Elimination of Other Gases – N, CO 56  Conditions That May Benefit Gas gangrene Radiation necrosis CO/Cyanide poison Ischemic tissue transplants Necrotizing soft tissue infections Decompression sickness Refractory osteomyelitis Refractory anaerobic infections Severe acute anemia/hemmorrhage Crush injury/trauma 57  Physiological Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (continued) Increased Ability of White Blood Cells to Fight Infections Neovascularization to Poorly Perfused Tissues Lethal to anaerobic microorganism 58 Equipment for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Monoplace Chamber – 1 pt. @ a time – Typically pressurized w/ O2 Multiplace Chamber – More than 1 pt. @ a time – Pressurized w/ RA, O2 via NRB, etc. – Healthcare provider may accompany pt. 59 Monoplace Hyperbaric Chamber 60 Multiplace Chamber 61 Multiplace Chamber 62  He/O2 Therapy Helium–oxygen (heliox) Low density of gas improves ability of gas to move around obstruction. Clinical application – Exacerbation of asthma – Treatment of postextubation stridor – Treatment of refractory croup – Treatment of severe airway obstruction in chronic bronchitis and emphysema 63  Helium–Oxygen Therapy (Cont.) Available concentrations – 80% Helium and 20% oxygen – 70% Helium and 30% oxygen – 60% Helium and 40% oxygen 64  Helium–Oxygen Therapy (Cont.) Can be administered through an endotracheal tube or well-fitted nonrebreather. Actual flow: due to low density of gas oxygen flowmeters are not accurate. Correction factors used to determine actual flow rate of gas: – 80:20—1.8 × liter flow – 70:30—1.6 × liter flow – 60:40—1.4 × liter flow 65 66  Carbon Dioxide/Oxygen Therapy CO2/O2 therapy has been used for many years for the treatment of various disorders (ex: singultus). Gas mixtures are available in 5/95% and 7/93% carbon dioxide–to-oxygen mixtures. 67  Nitric Oxide (NO) Therapy Inhaled nitric oxide therapy is used to treat persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns. Nitric oxide is highly reactive and can combine with oxygen or water to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric acid (HNO3), respectively. Nitric oxide is delivered via the I-NOvent. 68  Nitric Oxide (NO) Therapy Dangers: – NO2 – Rebound vasoconstriction (Don’t wean too fast!) Method of action: – Short-acting – Delivered directly to lung 69 I-Novent 70
