In order to overcome the resistance of the respiratory line, the flow rate should be set at no less than 15L/min.
In modern clinical medicine, the ventilator, as an effective means of artificially replacing the function of voluntary ventilation, has been commonly used in respiratory failure due to various causes, anesthetic respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support therapy and emergency resuscitation, and occupies a very important position in the field of modern medicine. Position. The ventilator is a medical device that can prevent and treat respiratory failure, reduce complications, and save and prolong the patient's life.
On the use of ventilators, I do not know whether to ask about invasive ventilators or non-invasive ventilators. An invasive ventilator is a ventilator that is used through the mouth, endotracheal tube, and is usually used in hospitals. Ventilators for home use are usually non-invasive. The use of non-invasive respiratory process, need to pay attention to the following issues:
First of all, non-invasive ventilator to find the patient's facial size of the mask, the mask because it is close to the facial skin, need to have a certain degree of sealing, in order to ensure that the use of the process of not leaking, once there is a leakage of air, the therapeutic effect will be relatively poor. Secondly, connect the pipeline, the pipeline of the ventilator should also have a certain degree of sealing, otherwise there will also be leakage.
Again, the ventilator will have a humidifier, you need to add saline to the humidifier before use, which can prevent the patient's airway from drying out too much in the process of using the ventilator. Finally, about the parameters of the ventilator, the parameters of the ventilator is not recommended to the patient at home debugging, need to go to the hospital by the doctor according to the patient's condition debugging a parameter, parameter debugging can be no longer change, the patient only need to wear a good mask every day, the power on can be used.
