What is an oscillatory ventilation?

High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a type of mechanical ventilation that uses a constant distending pressure (mean airway pressure [MAP]) with pressure variations oscillating around the MAP at very high rates (up to 900 cycles per minute). This creates small tidal volumes, often less than the dead space.

What is an oscillator in NICU?

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a lung-protective strategy that can be utilized in the full spectrum of patient populations ranging from neonatal to adults with acute lung injury. HFOV is often utilized as a rescue strategy when conventional mechanical ventilation (CV) has failed.

How does a NICU oscillator work?

It uses an active exhalation and inspiration phase, which diffuses gas down to the alveoli. In the simplest terms, the oscillator is also referred to as “CPAP with a wiggle.” CPAP determines oxygenation which maintains optimal lung recruitment, and the wiggle controls alveolar ventilation with oscillating pressure.

What is oscillation in nursing?

1. A to-and-fro movement. 2. A stage in the vascular changes in inflammation in which the accumulation of leukocytes in the small vessels arrests the passage of blood and there is simply a to-and-fro movement at each cardiac contraction.

What does an oscillator do?

An oscillator is a mechanical or electronic device that works on the principles of oscillation: a periodic fluctuation between two things based on changes in energy. Computers, clocks, watches, radios, and metal detectors are among the many devices that use oscillators.

Why choose the vyarie Vela ventilator?

The Vyaire Vela is available in different modes and can be customized to your specific ventilation needs. Its precise controlled gas delivery and active exhaust give you the precise treatment that is needed for each patient. The Vyarie Ventilator comes with a collar LCD touchscreen and simplified controls make it easier to use.

Are the vyaire ventilators refurbished?

The Vyaire Ventilators is not only technically refurbished but also cosmetically refurbished to make it work and look like new. When the refurbishing process starts on the Vela, it is carefully inspected and tested by our own in-house biomedical engineers that are highly skilled and certified to work on Ventilators.

How much time do you Use Your ventilator?

Full function conventional ventilator and noninvasive positive pressure ventilator (NPPV) 1 Hour of Ventilator Use on Internal Battery (Standard) / 30 minutes Ventilator/Compressor Tidal volume: 50 mL to 2.0 L Time high / time: low 0.3 to 30 seconds / 0.3 to
