Respiratory care by Armstrong Medical

The Respiratory Care Pathway outlines the support therapies to treat or prevent multiple respiratory conditions.

Armstrong Medical's respiratory care range supports the patient and care giver as they transition between respiratory therapies. Universal facemask/ Spirale® pi o n

FD140 The FD140 is a new generation flow driver for mask or helmet CPAP and high flow humidified oxygen therapy. Lifetime paramagnetic O2 sensor Intelligent alarm management including high and low pressure, max respiratory rate and apnea alarms An interactive LCD touch screen Max Flow rate CPAP 140L/min, HFOT 60L/min Integrated drug nebuliser 60 min internal battery life The FD140 flow driver is significantly quieter than alternative high flow drivers benefiting patients, visitors and care providers. Patients in intensive care units suffer from sleep deprivation arising from nursing...

Applications | High flow Oxygen therapy delivered through AquaNASE® nasal cannula heats and humidifies the gases with flows up to 60 L/min, reducing oxygen dilution. • • • • • Improved patient comfort Reduced oxygen dilution Dead space washout Improved secretion clearance Alveoli recruitment | Mask/ Hood CPAP 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: 1. Application of a PEEP (Positive End 37 C Expiratory Pressure) valve to maintain...

AquaVENT® Heated breathing systems AquaVENT® heated breathing systems combine technological advances in thermal conductivity and breathing circuit construction to deliver optimal and controlled humidification. AquaVENT® heated breathing systems are available for invasive and noninvasive ventilation and may be customised in line with local clinical practice. Circuit available in single and double limb Circuit validated for 14 days AquaVENT® heated breathing circuits contain BioCote® antimicrobial silver additive to limit the number of microbes on the surface of the breathing circuit,...

AquaVENT® Humidification Chamber | Key Features H20 Feed lines are 1.2m long, which reduces the need for additional extension sets when used for high-pressure therapies such as nCPAP. Pinch clamp and feed line allow circuits to be leak tested with chamber in situ. The free moving float valve contains no additional levers or components at risk of malfunction. The convection float ensures optimal humidity is achieved at variable flow rates. Autofill chamber. AquaVENT® Heater | Key Features • Invasive or non-invasive mode selection • Automatic temperature selection • Low and high temperature...

AquaNASE® AquaNASE® cannula for HFHOT can be supplied with AquaVENT® breathing systems in a complete Flowkit. Patients can eat, drink, communicate and mobilise pulmonary secretions without disrupting therapy support. Heated humidification helps prevent drying of upper airway mucosa increasing patient comfort during oxygen therapy. Flows closer to a patient’s inspiratory demand reduces ambient air entrainment and oxygen dilution. Use AquaNASE® during patients noninvasive ventilation rest periods for: oral hygiene hydration feeding physiotherapy managed weaning | Clinical applications (3) •...

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. (1) Anaesthetised patients with Atelectasis Thoracic Abdominal Patients with radiographically diagnosed atelectasis that develop...

Key Features | Universal face mask 5 adjustment points ensure optimal anatomical positioning and enhanced patient comfort . Deep sealing flange on the nose bridge helps create a low pressure seal. Swivel elbow connector; non-vented or vented with anti-asphyxia valve can be adapted for CPAP and BPAP reducing the need to stock 2 mask specifications. Since introducing Armstrong Medical’s mask, we have seen a significant increase in patient compliance and success of respiratory therapies. Customer testimonials “Some patients avoid being intubated and ventilated, thus avoiding the associated...

Spirale® Patients with acute respiratory failure are often removed from non-invasive ventilation to receive inhaled bronchodilators. (4) Many patients may not tolerate removal of their respiratory support and subsequently their bronchodilator therapy may not be completed. interrupt respiratory therapy for delivery of bronchodilators. have experienced patient desaturation during this period. of clinicians agreed it beneficial to deliver MDI bronchodilator without interrupting respiratory support. *Results from 67 clinicians surveyed at European Society of Emergency Medicine 2014 Cost...
