5.8 Optimizing the Patient Ventilator
Interface
Setting up the Patient Ventilator interface is straightforward.
Either a nasal CPAP mask or a full-facemask may be used. If
the mask incorporates an anti-asphyxia device, make sure that
it closes on pressurizing the mask and does not require
continuous uni-directional flow to remain closed.
Connect the facemask to the circuit using an OmniFlex or a
double swivel elbow to increase circuit flexibility. Connect the
circuit directly without the use of an HME filter or a bacterial
filter between the flow sensor and the facemask. Finally, ensure
that the sensor lines are not kinked or disconnected.
