Clinical Experience Technical Competence Steph 3,111 C The ventilation system for neonatology Success in the area of top-class medical technology lies in the details. And it is in these details that the STEPHANIE neonatal ventilation system excels. From the outset, Fritz Stephan GmbH has specialized in solutions associated with ventilation in the area of neonatology and pediatrics. Through its many years of working closely with hospitals, Fritz Stephan GmbH is well aware of the demands medical personnel place on their "tools". The unique combination of ventilator, patient gas humidifier, oscillator...

Pediatrics HFO The integrated high-frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) can be initiated at the push of a button and without any delay or the necessity of changing patient tubes. The unique patient ventilator means that there are no additional compressible volumes which can reduce the performance of the HFO. Patient gas conditioning The integrated, heated patient gas humidication system generates saturated and warmed respiration gas ahead of the inspiration valve, in other words, “within” the ventilator so to speak. The heated patient tubes provide temperature monitoring when carrying the...

Clinical Experience Technical Competence Steph 3,111 C The ventilation system for neonatology High-frequency oscillation The integrated high-frequency oscillation represents one of the characteristics which sets this system apart. It can be activated at the push of a button, and frequency amplitude as well as the I/E ratio are all ad-justable.The wide adjustment range of the Mean Airway Pressure (MAP) up to 30 cmH20 provides reliable oxygenation. The precision monitoring fully developed for STEPHANIE permits even the smallest volumes to be measured during HFOV, even at very high frequencies....

Pediatrics PAV is a safe respiration treatment since the spontaneous breathing efforts are continuously monitored and a backup ventilation utilizing conventional S-IMV automatically takes over if the tidal volumes being breathed become too low or if spontaneous respiration stops. The backup ventilation permits a more subtle form of respiration support for children with breathing insufciencies. Apneas or a large reduction of spontaneous breathing in premature infants are characterized by drops in oxygen saturation due to insufcient pulmonary aeration. If an apnea is followed by a resumption of...

Clinical Experience Technical Competence Steph 3,111 C The ventilation system for neonatology The integrated, heated humidification system During normal, spontaneous breathing, the respiration gas is moistened and warmed in the upper respiratory tract. Insufficient moisture in the gas or gas which has not been adequately warmed will quickly lead to disruptions in the activities of the cilia in the bron- chial epithelium, to an increase in the viscosity of the respiratory tract secretion and to an increased risk of a partial obstruction of smaller pulmonary path-ways due to a secretion build-up....
