Percussionaire TXP-2D - High-Frequency Ventilation Mode; Goals and Patient Suitability; Important Considerations; Settings for High-Frequency

High-frequency details
High-frequency
The TXP®-2D delivers high
-
(Approx. 3-10 Hz.)
Goals of High-Frequency
The aim of High-
frequency is:
•
Limit pressure exposure
•
Optimize lung volumes where atelectasis is a major issue.
Applicable patients
This mode can be suitable for:
•
Neonates with air leak syndromes
•
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
•
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension o
•
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
Important considerations
•
Carefully monitor PaO
in the patient’s lung/thorax compliance/resistance. These changes can at times be
considerable.
• Careful mon
itoring is necessary for tracheal or ETT obstruction.
Settings
The following control knobs will be used:
•
High Frequency (rate)
• Amplitude
•
Mean Airway Pressure (external valve)
