CPAP Helmets / Hoods
Key Details
CPAP Helmets / Hoods deliver CPAP safely while providing great patient comfort and aerosol-protection for staff.
Helmet CPAP - Setup Guidance
FD140i delivering safe helmet / hood CPAP
The benefits of respiratory support provided by helmet / hood CPAP include:
- improved patient compliance at higher PEEP levels
- reduced airway leaks
- protection for healthcare workers from aerosolisation
The increased helmet volume provides challenges when using blenders and ventilators:
- blenders risk of insufficient flow, increasing inspired CO2
- patient ventilator asynchrony
The FD140i provides a dedicated CPAP Helmet Mode with enhanced safety features, including:
- minimal flow rates 40L/min to reduce the risk of re-breathing
- continuous high flow CPAP without patient ventilator asynchrony
- high and low pressure alarms
- apnoea and respiratory rate alarms and enhanced respiratory monitoring
The FD140i provides easy transition when weaning from helmet CPAP to high flow oxygen therapy.
Clinical review
Helmet and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in critically ill
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:
- application of PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure) valve to maintain expiratory pressure
- delivering flow to meet the patients peak inspiratory requirements and maintain PAP
- delivery of CPAP is confirmed via pressure manometer
