AquaNASE®
High flow humidified oxygen therapy
Reduced air entrainment, leads to accurate O2 delivery.
Heated and humidied gases improve patient comfort and compliance of high flow respiratory therapies.
Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) is dependant on flow and patient breathing with mouth closed.[1]
Use AquaNASE® for continued respiratory support during Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) rest periods:
- oral hygiene
- hydration
- feeding
- physiotherapy
- managed weaning
Washout of Nasopharangeal dead space minimises rebreathing of CO2.[2]
Low flow nasal cannulae may be better tolerated than oxygen face masks during oxygen therapy. The patient can communicate and retains the ability to eat and drink. However, their use is limited due to a maximum flow rate of 60l/min, 44% FiO2 and associated drying of the nasal mucosa.
Armstrong Medical incorporates AquaVENT® heated wire technology with its AquaNASE® nasal cannulae to deliver high flow humidified oxygen.
The MAXBlendTM Flow Driver delivers up to 120l/min flow rate and from 21%-100% oxygen enabling clinicians to administer the best therapy for the patient’s needs.
AquaNASE® features in the Starter Flowkit.
