Secretion clearance
Secretion clearance
Secretion clearance for spontaneous breathing patients.
High flow humidified PEP
High flow humidified PEP combines two respiratory therapies for the prevention and treatment of post -op pulmonary complications.
Anaesthesia may adversely affect the lung’s defence mechanisms impairing the ability to cough and suppressing mucociliary clearance.
Post- operative pulmonary complications (PPC) are linked to increased length of stay and mortality. Cardiac, thoracic and abdominal surgery present the highest risk of PPC.
AquaNASE® and Ultra-PEP
Humidified high flow with AquaNASE® maintains mucociliary function and improves oxygenation by delivering flows close to the patients’ peak inspiratory requirement.
Ultra-PEP is used to mobilise secretions, assist with airway clearance and prevent or reverse post-operative atelectasis.
Clinical Indications
- COPD
- Bronchiectasis
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Post-operative atelectasis
- Epithelial mucus-hypersecretion
Key Features AquaNASE® and Ultra-PEP
Humidified high flow with AquaNASE® maintains mucociliary function and improves oxygenation by delivering flows close to the patients’ peak inspiratory requirement.
Ultra-PEP is used to mobilise secretions, assist with airway clearance and prevent or reverse post -operative atelectasis.
Stasis of secretions leads to chronic infection, inflammation and reduced gas exchange. Ultra-PEP is used to mobilise secretions and thus assist with airway clearance.
- Device functions in any orientation.
- Lightweight, portable and easy to use.
- Visual feedback increases effective use.
- Graduated rotation gives precise adjustment of pressure.
- Detachable mouthpiece for fitting to tracheostomy tube or facemask.
