Presentation Transcript

  1. Boussignac CPAP System • Select the appropriate size face mask for your patient: - Child Mask (Size 3) - Small Adult Mask (Size 4) - Medium Adult Mask (Size 5) - Large Adult Mask (Size 6)

  2. Boussignac CPAP System • Set Oxygen flow to deliver CPAP in cmH2O of water pressure: - 15 liters = 5cmH2O - 20 liters = 7.5 cmH2O - 25 liters = 10 cmH2O

  3. Boussignac CPAP System • Connect funnel end of Green Oxygen Tubing to an O2 source capable of delivering flow up to 25 liters/min. • This provides the full range of CPAP needed for clinical use (5-10cmH2O). • Typically a “D” size cylinder in the field.

  4. Boussignac CPAP System • Insert white end of the Boussignac CPAP into the face mask.

  5. Boussignac CPAP System • If required, insert a pressure manometer between the Boussignac CPAP and the face mask.

  6. Boussignac CPAP System • Attach the head strap to the hook rings on one side of the Boussignac CPAP mask. • Explain to the patient how the Boussignac CPAP will help their breathing. • Gently hold the mask to the patients face insuring a good face/mask seal. • Turn the flow control device to the desired liters/min, generally 15 l/min, to begin the CPAP. • Gradually adjust the flow to achieve the desired level of CPAP.

  7. Boussignac CPAP System • Move the head strap around the patient’s head. Insure that the round disk on the head strap is located on the crown of the patient’s head. Attach the head strap on the hook rings. • Check around the mask for any leaks. • Adjust the mask and/or head strap accordingly to insure the patient’s comfort. • Monitor patient’s vital signs.

  8. Boussignac CPAP System • If the patient requires suctioning of the oral cavity, insert French size suction catheter through the open end of the Boussignac CPAP System. • CPAP pressure will not be affected.

  9. Boussignac CPAP SystemETCO2 can be monitored by either nasal cannula or in line adapter • CO2 can be monitored with either a nasal cannula or an in-line CO2 adapter.

  10. Boussignac CPAP System • When transporting the patient in the ambulance, connect the Green Oxygen delivery tube to the wall Oxygen in the vehicle. Set appropriate flow of oxygen to achieve CPAP pressure desired.

  11. Boussignac CPAP System + Nebulizer • Fill the nebulizer with the prescribed medication.

  12. Boussignac CPAP System + Nebulizer • Insert the 22 mm male end of the nebulizer into the face mask. • Insert the 22 male end (white) of Boussignac CPAP into the nebulizer. • Monitor patient’s vital signs.

  13. Boussignac CPAP System + Nebulizer • Connect the funnel end of the nebulizer’s gas delivery tube to a gas source. • Turn on gas source to 6 liters/min. to power the nebulizer. • Maintain O2 flow to Boussignac CPAP System at 15 l/min. (5cmH2O).
