Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is used to maintain pressure on the lower airways at the end of the breathing cycle which prevents the alveoli from collapsing during expiration. Clariti PEEP valves are fixed value colour coded valves made from a transparent material which allows monitoring of the patient’s respiratory rate and blockage assessment while a highly fluorescent valve facilitates observation of valve functionality.
Flowkit heated and humidified breathing circuits can be customised for both CPAP or High Flow, helping reduce clinical waste and streamline delivery of care.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is delivered to correct hypoxia. Indications include cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and atelectasis.
CPAP recruits collapsed alveoli and improves gas exchange by:
