Installation For Use With Tracheostomy - Aerogen Solo Manuel D'utilisation Du Système

Installation for use with Tracheostomy

The Aerogen Solo is compatible with standard tracheostomy tubes.
The Aerogen Solo is suitable for use with mechanically ventilated
tracheostomy patients (Figures 5, 7, 8 and 9).
The Aerogen Solo is suitable for use with spontaneously breathing
tracheostomy patients (Figure 10). When using with a tracheostomy tube,
connect the Aerogen Solo to the tracheostomy tube assembly with a
T-piece.
For extra length, insert a connector or extension (which are not provided),
as required, to support the additional weight of the nebuliser on an
adjacent surface to reduce the risk of de-cannulation and/or to increase
patient comfort.
Please refer to contraindication on page 7.

Warning
• The combined weight of the tracheostomy tube assembly, nebuliser
and T-piece configurations may cause de-cannulation.
• Ensure that the total combined volume of nebuliser, T-piece and
tracheostomy tube assembly is suitable for the tidal volume being
delivered and does not increase dead space to the extent that it
adversely impacts the respiratory parameters of the patient.
