Non-Invasive Ventilation
as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Interface (Mask/Mouthpiece) Selection

• Focus on comfort and effectiveness usually a smaller mask is easier to manage. Start with mouthpiece if the patient has trouble tolerating the mask. Gradually move to the interface that balances comfort and effectiveness of ventilation. Use only non-vented masks (no holes or valves of any kind)

2. Patient Preparation/Considerations

• Make sure the patient understands what you plan to do. Secure the mask to the patient's face, avoiding too tight of a fit.

3. Initial Set-Up

• Humidification: Use a standard humidifier or use an HME/HCH (only if mask fits very well). Breathing circuit: Use a single limb or 'J' circuit. Adjust initial ventilator settings Re-adjust settings to balance comfort and effectiveness of ventilation Set alarms appropriately Set up pulse oximeter

Non-Invasive Ventilation Tips for HT50

• Any mode and breath type can be used for noninvasive ventilation. Using the HT50, rather than a bilevel pressure device, for NIV means you are not limited to pressure ventilation. Keep breathing circuit deadspace minimized to reduce carbon dioxide rebreathing. Choose breathing circuits carefully. Many disposable breathing circuits/exhalation valves will not allow the HT50 to function as designed. Use only Newport approved circuits/exhalation valves.

The HT50 Ventilator’s comprehensive, versatile features meet the demands of almost any healthcare setting. Suitable for both pediatric (=10kg) and adult patients, the HT50 is fully self contained and provides up to 10 hours of operation from its internal battery. Reliable, rugged and portable the HT50 offers patients effective invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support any where they need it – for hospital, home, transport or extended care.
