Neonatal circuit ventilators have many features, including tubing, connectors, sensors, and traps. These features help ensure that newborns receive the right amount of oxygen and other gases.
Tubing
- Corrugated tube: A tube that carries gas from the ventilator to the patient
- Adjustable inner diameter: The tubing can be adjusted for neonatal and pediatric patients
Connectors
- Elbow connectors: These connectors are ergonomically designed
Sensors
- Flow sensor: This sensor measures pressure and flow at the airway opening
Traps
- Double water traps: These traps collect condensed water from the circuit
