Aerosol: High Flow Oxygen System

[ncdjcompany]

use an optiflow?

[buckeyepixie]

hey can you explain how to run two systems in tandem and how to bleed in O2 and most importantly how to figure out flow for each?

Thanks

[CJonesey01]

Could set up a tandem if can't get the flow you want or need from single aerosol

[alltoorobot]

Thanks a lot.

ACTUALLY...if water collects in the tube...it creates back-pressure which decreases the amount of air entrained which will in turn increase the FIO2

[ncdjcompany]

@mom2angelson I was taught that the Fi02 will increase if there is an obstruction and the total flow will decrease. The Oxygen will be pushed in no matter what due to pressure but the entrainment will not.

great video! but which patient really needs aerosol HFO system and how long should this device must be given to the patient?and in what case the aerosol HFO system must be heated?

[mom2angelson]

Aerosol tx: Aid in bronchial hygiene, deliver meds, humidify dry medical gas, TREAT pt's with a bypassed upper airway. Give aerosol for as long as needed. Aerosol must be heated for a bypassed upper airway because the nose is bypassed. The nose does the humidification.

I thought it was not considered a high flow system unless it had a 60L/min output?

[salvyfirpo]

at low FiO2 <35% it functions as high flow system.

[mom2angelson]

I was taught, this year, that at 40 L/m, a system is considered high flow.

great video! Is there anyway to print this to be able to do the tic tac toe "magic box"?

[magz1313]

Great video... Please post more videos on techniques and the logic behind it... Thanks

Grampy, you can put two systems together in tandem, and double the output. Of course, this means a "wye", two flow meters, etc...

Thanks for the comment, you tube vids are kinda low res. I think bigger text might help with the blurriness.

[Grampy1975]

Great Video. Can you make the writing a little clearer to see, kinda blurry.

Get back to you on awnsering your questions.

[Grampy1975]

1.The Patient would recieve as you stated a total FIO2 of 20 l/m. Which doesnt meet High Flow Standards.

2. By increasing the Venturi by 10% it would give you the required FIO2 for it to be considered high flow.

Firefox:

You can set the base flowmeter any level you want. It's a common mistake to turn the flow meter down instead of changing the FIO2!

great video, david! question: does base flowmeter have to be set up to at least 10L (what i know) all the time? i see doctors play with the flowmeter and bring it down to 2L (???), instead of the entrained flow, to wean the pts. thank you.

[mikhailkryza]

i was about to report a topic on this. thank god i found your video, oh it helps a lot!

[1992peter]

We need more people like you Dave, who are willing, to take that time, to explain how this stuff works.

[circlehilljohn]

Hi David, this video is right in time for my practicum -II. Thank you. Great job!

[justmyworld74]

Once again, I'm glad I found you! Your knowledge is priceless to me in my learning to become a RT. JMW74

thank you for sharing this info. this helps alot.
