Reusable or disposable hose systems can be used
with Oxylog 2000 plus. Please refer to the "List of
Accessories" section for ordering information.
Dead space
Dead space is an important aspect of ventilation
management:
Dead space ventilation is the portion of the respira-
tory system, in which no significant gas exchange
occurs. An increase of the proportion of dead space
to alveolar ventilation may lead to an increase of
the retention of carbon dioxide by the patient.
Dead space is present as a component of the
patient’s artificial airway and hose system. If the
volume of the mechanical dead space equals or
exceeds the volume of alveolar ventilation, the
patient may not be able to adequately evacuate
carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is important to prop-
erly manage the ventilation perfusion ratio to
ensure effective elimination of carbon dioxide
gases.
NOTE
If the type of the hose system used is changed, the
device must be reconfigured. Refer to the
"Configuration" section for additional information.
