What is a baby fan?
A baby fan is a machine that promotes infant breathing or child in respiratory distress. It works similarly to an ordinary adult fan, except that its parts are smaller to better adapt the smaller body of the child. A pediatric fan can be used in conjunction with anesthesia for surgery, or if the child or accident of the child leads to respiratory problems. The trained professional mixes the tube through the patient's mouth into the trachea to ensure the correct placement. Long -term pediatric ventilation may require the use of a tracheotomic tube; It is a shorter version of the endotracheal tube and is stretched by a small slot cut in the patient's throat than placed directly in the patient's trache. The mechanical ventilation is provided by plastic hoses running from the fan machine to the tube in the bitch airways. The tape or tube holders can be used to secure the tube in the baby's trachea to prevent the tube from slipping.
Mechanical ventilation for infants and children will provide the right amount of oxygen with each breath. The pediatric fan can be set to give a breath independent of the child, synchronized with the breathing of the child, or only when the child breathes alone. Such fans also have alarm limits, so the health care team may be aware whether the fan's breath is not delivered properly.
The machine can be a small portable baby fan used for young patients who need a home fan. These mini-machins have all the capabilities of larger hospital versions, except that they are easy to move. It also runs on a battery for up to 8 hours, so the fan can promote infant or baby breathing when there is an energy source such as an electrical outlet.
The fan machine can also be a huge and stunning equipment in the pediatric intensive care unit or in the hospital room. The fan may be scary at firstý. The parent is likely to become more comfortable with alarms and other sounds of the machine because he works to support the rhythmic breathing of the child and the parent learns more about it.
Pediatric fans use two common modes to measure any breath: pressure control and volume control. The physician orders the regime and amount of pressure or volume that the child or child needs according to the condition of the lungs and the basic disease that the child experiences. The fan has built -in alarms and limits to prevent the baby's lung injury and help support recovery.
