Special procedures
Medication nebulization
Insp. O2 concentration during medication
nebulization
Only use medication nebulizer 8411030. If other
medication nebulizers are used, considerable devi-
ations may occur in the tidal volume and the in-
spiratory O
2 concentration!
To minimize the deviation from the set O
2 concen-
tration, Babylog VN500 uses a gas mixture to drive
the medication nebulizer. The gas mixture is gener-
ated by switching over between compressed air
and O
2 in short time intervals.
The medication nebulizer nebulizes continuously.
The aerosol generated during expiration does not
reach the lungs, however. The medication nebuliz-
er is supplied with compressed air, O2, or a mixture
of compressed air and O2 by Babylog VN500, de-
pending on the set O
2 concentration.
The graph shows the possible deviations of the ap-
plied O
2 concentration from the set FiO2 concentra-
tion with respiratory rates above 12/min.
