I am so happy I came across this video! I'm going to set up one of your ghetto test lungs because your demo of PEEP is such a great way visualize it for the students!
It'd be nice if these things could do weaning parameters. And I don't mean their SBT ability in the internal menus. I'm talking about NIF, and Vital Capacity. These things argood though.
@@hbomb1512 I was told that it was essentially a 1 way circuit at that point, the filter needing to be on the patient side so contamination doesn't get exhaled out the exhalation side. Perhaps I had been told wrong.
@@jasonkeef600 the filter is designed to prevent cross contamination between the machine and patient. The LTV has an exhalation limb that doesn't seem to be filtered. I do know that the manufacturer doesn't approve the filter to be placed at anywhere other than than at the machine and distal to the patient. If you were taught otherwise, I guess it couldn't hurt, it actually makes a lot of sense! Just know that the filter is designed to act as barrier between the machine and patient for possible back pressure contamination and is not medically approved to filter the exhaled air that escapes from the expiratory limb. There are actually some studies that say that the bacterial filter doesn't really decrease incidents of infection, so it seems to just be a CYA/money maker thing from the manufacturer. I am no infection control expert; I would adhere to your protocols and company guidelines for use. Great question! I'll look more in this, you have me curious now!

I appreciate your kind words, Jennifer !
What a great PEEP demonstration!
Mahfuzul syeed thanks! It’s ghetto but it works!
Thank you for this video! I am new to the transport world and this vent scares me LoL especially the BIPAP aspect of it. Thank you again!!
nikkieRN glad to help! Let me know if you have any more video ideas!
We really need thousands of this right now to fight against Covid 19
Thank you for this video much respect 🙏🏾
My favorite ventilator too!
That was a great tutorial! Def saving this to review until it's ingrained.
Thanks! glad it's helpful!
Thank you for the informative video!
Really wonderful video!
Thanks so much!

So helpful video
Thank you x100000000%
Happy to help!
Is the LTV 1200 Piston based?
Why is the filter at the vent? It should be on the patient side of the circuit shouldn't it?
Jason Keef no, the bacteria filter protects the vent/patient from contamination, an HME goes on the patient side.

@@henrythatrtguy6448 I see, that is interesting. Thanks for answering!
Actually condensation is higher closer to the patient and trigger the vent to recycle so its safer when the filter is placed distal to the patient
Patient in PS in LTV
will it get a back up rate or no in apnea episode? If no how will the px be compensated?
You can put the patient in SIMV and make the back up rate low/ Vt volume and let the patient just ride the PS/ peep.
alright henry since we are out of dang vents we are now using ltvs for trach patients damn thing keeps alarming i hate those vents
May I manage a ARDS with this machine please?
Benoucheca Pierre it certainly has the capability, you can set ac and check plateau pressures. It has a good pressure control mode as well.
You got a video on 10k Pm?
How do Inplace patient on NIOV ?!?!?!? This is what I want to see not the rest
