Kirsty Wood 18 Posted 22 October, 2019 We are looking into introducing a new device to deliver CPAP at ward level into our trust. Currently we use NIPPY machines which can deliver some PEEP when in a selected mode, however the downfall to this is, it can only produce an oxygen concentration of around 50%. Often, the patient groups that require this intervention are on high oxygen requirements and so particularly in the early stages would benefit from a device that could deliver both. I have previously worked with Pulmodyne 02-Max trio which allows up to 90% oxygen and PEEP up to 7.5cmH20. Majority of patients responded very well to this treatment. I wondered whether any other trusts/ team have any other experiences/ devices that they may use and recommend? @Danielle Haupt@Claire Cox@Emma Richardson@Mandy Odell@PatientSafetyLearning Team@Patient Safety Learning@Patient safety Hub@CCOT_Southend 0 reactions so far Edited 22 October, 2019 by Kirsty Wood Claire Cox 190 Posted 22 October, 2019 Hi @Kirsty Wood we use the trilogy, however we only use it for BiPAP. It does do CPAP but we , as a Trust, have decided that we wont use CPAP as a therapy on the wards. We might start it while we wait for an ITU bed, but not as a long term measure. This machine is great as it is portable, has a good battery life and doesn't require the air port. Patients bring in their own NIPPY from home if they require it, but only on their normal settings. I hope that helps claire 0 reactions so far Create an account or sign in to comment You need to be a member in order to leave a comment Create an account Sign up for a new account in our community.
