Considerações especiais para pacientes pediátricos

Detecting a child's tidal volume and / or breathing effort requires sensitive algorithms and technologies. ResMed has designed respiratory support devices that offer advanced inspiratory triggering sensitivity, thereby improving synchrony and respiratory support for the child.

  • ResMed ventilators offer adjustable trigger sensitivities, allowing doctors to choose a high or very high sensitivity to facilitate triggering.
  • The ClimateLineAir tube connects seamlessly to the back of any ResMed AirSense or AirCurve device, eliminating the inconvenience of a separate tube connection for the mask and allowing oxygen to mix completely with the heated, humidified air.
  • The Stellar ™ series of ventilators allows oxygen to be connected directly to the ventilator, reducing interference with trigger sensitivity

In order to obtain adequate minute ventilation and / or synchronization with the patient, some children need a high respiratory rate.

  • Stellar devices offer an adjustable respiratory support rate of up to 60 rpm. The support respiratory rate of the AirCurve 10 ST-A can be set up to 50 rpm.
  • AirCurve 10 ST-A and Stellar series devices also offer Pressure Assisted Control (PAC) mode, allowing doctors to define both a support rate and a fixed inspiratory time

Unintentional leaks are inevitable, especially with pediatric patients who move frequently or still do not understand the need to keep the mask on their face.

  • ResMed ventilators allow doctors to set a "short" Ti Max for pediatric patients, ensuring that each inspiration ends and returns to expiration, even in the presence of high levels of leakage.

NIV can be used to treat various respiratory conditions

  • The AirCurve 10 ST-A or Stellar series are approved for pediatric patients and for hospital or home use.
  • Stellar offer a comprehensive menu of alarm options, in addition to integrated oximetry, making them ideal for pediatric NIV use.
  • In addition, the two bilevel devices allow the use of oxygen in therapy. The AirCurve 10 ST-A offers high performance with the addition of a 02 flow of up to 15 l / min. The Stellar works well with the addition of up to 30 l / min of oxygen directly to the device and also offers a FiO 2 monitoring option suitable for hospital use.

For pediatric patients, it is important to ensure that the bilevel device has the appropriate alarms.

  • Most ResMed fans include alarms, such as power failure or device failure.
  • The AirCurve 10 ST-A and Stellar series offer a comprehensive menu of alarm options, including an apnea alarm.

Designed with your pediatric patients in mind.

  • Stellar ventilators allow doctors to use the PAC mode, which guarantees a specified respiratory rate and inspiratory time.
  • Alternatively, the Stellar and AirCurve devices allow clinicians to set Ti Min, which ensures minimal inspiratory time in S and ST modes.

The doctor can prescribe an oximeter for pediatric patients.

  • Stellar fans and AirCurve devices offer an integrated oximeter with alarms. The integrated oximeter improves the caregiver's efficiency.

It is important that families of children in NIV participate in normal activities and excursions that promote bonding and quality of life.

  • Stellar fans are equipped with an internal battery to provide greater mobility.
  • Batteries facilitate continuity of therapy for the pediatric patient.
  • In addition, many ResMed ResMed fans are compatible with the ResMed Power Station II (RPS II), which can provide 8 to 16 hours of additional power (depending on the use of one or two batteries). (For example, the battery has a life of eight hours if used in PAC mode with pressure settings of EPAP at 5 cmH 2 O, IPAP at 15 cmH 2 O and 20 rpm - two batteries can be connected simultaneously).a
