/p>Philips Respironics has presented within the framework of the 47th Annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPARATE) two teams, Trilogy and BiPAP A40which have the innovative AVAPS-AE technologyexclusive to the company, designed to assist physicians during the initial assessment of therapy, allowing the clinician to pressure support adjustment speed control and thus adapting to the needs of each obese patient with respiratory problems.
Thanks to technology AVAPS-AE, the system monitors the patient’s upper airway resistance and automatically adjusts the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) required to maintain the patient’s airway open. At the same time, this system automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain the programmed tidal volume. And when the respiratory rate is programmed in automatic mode, the equipment adjusts the rescue respiratory rate based on the patient’s spontaneous respiratory rate.
Long-term use of this system ensures compliance with therapy and is particularly indicated for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) associated with chronic respiratory failure.
The new version of Trilogy It has waveforms on the screen that allow you to see the response of patients to treatment in the hospital, prior to their transition home.
In addition, it has a new mode of ventilation with mouthpiece (MPV), composed of a specially sensitive Trigger designed with flow signal control technology, which detects when the patient places the lips on the mouthpiece to deliver ventilation on demand. It is combined with an optional arm support system, for ease of use and patient comfort.
On the other hand, the fan BiPAP A40 It is designed exclusively for the management of the chronic respiratory failure in diseases such as obesity hypoventilation syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and neuromuscular disease in adult and pediatric patients (children over 10 kg).
In addition to the mode AVAPS-AE, Designed for these patients with specific needs, this equipment allows data management, greater autonomy and patient support with its battery module, pressures up to 40 cm H2O, pressure monitoring, leaks, minute ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, ratio I/E and oximetry.
