Description
The Dräger Babylog VN500 HFO is a sophisticated neonatal ventilator designed to provide gentle and efficient respiratory support for premature and infant patients experiencing respiratory failure. This advanced system incorporates High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) technology alongside conventional ventilation modes, empowering clinicians to deliver personalized care tailored to each infant’s specific needs.
Key features of the Dräger Babylog VN500 HFO include:-
High-Frequency Oscillation (HFOV): The VN500 HFO delivers rapid oscillations of gas at high frequencies, promoting gas exchange and improved oxygenation without high tidal volumes. This minimizes ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), a critical concern in neonates with underdeveloped lungs.
Gentle Lung Ventilation: The HFOV technology minimizes pressure and volume fluctuations, promoting lung growth and repair in fragile neonates.
Sigh breaths: The VN500 HFO incorporates the ability to deliver periodic “sigh breaths” to help prevent atelectasis (collapse of alveoli) and improve lung recruitment
Volume Guarantee: This feature ensures a minimum tidal volume is delivered with each breath, even during periods of increased airway resistance.
Versatility with Conventional Modes: In addition to HFOV, the VN500 offers conventional ventilation modes like volume-targeted (VT) and pressure-targeted (PT) ventilation. This versatility allows for the adaptation of ventilation therapy as patient conditions evolve.
Advanced Monitoring: The ventilator provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities, including vital signs, ventilation parameters, and waveform displays. Real-time data empowers clinicians to make informed decisions and adjust settings as needed.
User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive interface with clear controls simplifies operation for healthcare professionals in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
