Does the Hamilton-T1 need an external air supply?

The integrated high-performance turbine enables the HAMILTON-T1 mechanical ventilator transport ventilator to be completely independent from compressed air. This reduces weight and saves space, as there is no need for gas cylinders or a compressor.

What is the function of the expiratory valve set?

The main tasks of the expiratory valve sets are to control the respiratory phases and the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Their design also prevents internal ventilator components from coming into contact with the patient’s exhaled gas.

Which of the following indicates patient triggering Hamilton-T1?

The pink triangles indicate the patient is triggering a breath. The Freeze button freezes the graphic for up to 30 s. 10 Alarm indicator (i-icon).

What is the flow trigger on the Hamilton ventilator?

On Hamilton Medical ventilators, the setting for the expiratory trigger is the expiratory trigger sensitivity (ETS). This value represents the percent of peak inspiratory flow at which the ventilator cycles from inspiration to exhalation. On Hamilton Medical ventilators, ETS can be set to anywhere between 5% and 80%.

Is Hamilton T1 MRI compatible?

The HAMILTON-MR1 is specially designed and shielded to ventilate your patient in the vicinity of an MRI scanner, and can be used at a magnetic field strength of 50 mT without creating any MR image artifacts.

What is exhalation valve used for?

Some types of respirators include an exhalation valve that opens to allow exhaled air to escape through the valve and closes to force inhaled air through the filter.

What is a normal flow trigger?

Flow triggering is a popular method for allowing patients to initiate breaths during mechanical ventilation. It works by setting a continuous “background flow” of gas through the ventilator circuit during expiration called Bias Flow.

What is the difference between CPAP and bubble CPAP?

Bubble CPAP also differs from ventilator-derived CPAP mechanistically. The mean pressure applied to the infant’s airway in bubble CPAP is not constant, as it is in ventilator-derived systems, but, rather, resonant, with the airway pressure actually fluctuating approximately 4 cm H2O around the mean.

What is a T1 carrying device?

624369/06. ix The HAMILTON-T1 ventilator is a medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician and within the limits of its stated technical specifica- tions.

At what oxygen level do they put you on a ventilator?

When oxygen levels become low (oxygen saturation < 85%), patients are usually intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation. For those patients, ventilators can be the difference between life and death.

What is a normal VTE on ventilator?

In a normal lung, the VDaw/Vte ratio is between 25% and 30%.
