What is Optiflow?

Nasal high flow oxygen (Optiflow™) is a new alternative as it provides warmed humidified oxygen at high flow, and also has been shown to assist breathing and improve recovery. It is comfortable during use and indeed may be more comfortable than standard (dry) oxygen via a facemask (Hudson type) or nasal prongs.

Is CPAP the same as Optiflow?

The Airvo (a NHF system) is a flow-based therapy (you adjust flow rate for your patient), CPAP is a pressure-based therapy, you set a pressure range for your patient. The pressure derived from Optiflow NHF therapy is dynamic, not set and not constant.

And a hundred percent oxygen comes out of those little nasal canula that go is goes into the patient’s nostrils.

How much does an Optiflow cost?

$89.00. Optiflow is a revolutionary oxygen therapy solution, and one of the most exciting developments in respiratory medicine since the introduction of noninvasive ventilation over 20 years ago.

What is Optiflow NHS?

Optiflow is a non-invasive device which warms and humidifies high flow nasal cannula air/oxygen blends which are delivered to the patient. The warmth and high humidity mean that the very high nasal flows can be tolerated.

How many liters is Optiflow?

There are 2 main companies, which manufacture these devices: Vapotherm which has a device that can deliver flow rates of up to 50 liter/min flow rates and Fisher Paykall who offers both the Optiflow as well as the AIRVO 2 devices which can both deliver flow rates of up to 60 liter/min.

What is Optiflow nasal cannula?

The AIRVO 2 optiflow nasal cannula for adults is a replacement nasal cannula with a unique wide bore which can deliver up to 60 L/pm. Spontaneously breathing patients receive respiratory support by providing heated, humidified air and oxygen.

Is high flow oxygen the same as CPAP?

HFNC, like CPAP, is a high flow system and is able to generate a positive end expiratory pressure, but unlike CPAP it does not have a valve [9]. HFNC is suggested to reduce the upper airway dead space and resistance [10,11].

Is Optiflow a Bipap?

BIPAP Vision Versus OPTIFLOW System Comparison in Acute Respiratory Failure After Cardio Thoracic Surgery (OPTIFLOW) Brief Summary: The OPTIFLOW ™ use is becoming more common in acute respiratory failure cases, but its place in relation to VNI (Bi-PAP mode) is not yet defined.

Can you have Optiflow at home?

AIRVO 2 Across Hospital The AIRVO 2 system enables the transition of Optiflow™ across critical and non-critical areas of the hospital. … To continue the therapy once discharged from the hospital, the F&P myAIRVO™ has been specifically designed for the needs of patients in the home and for long-term care.

How does Optiflow work?

  • Optiflow provides heated humidified air, and oxygen (21% to 100% as required) at a flow rates up to 60 L/min. Optiflow promotes key mechanisms of action – reduction of dead space, dynamic positive airway pressure, airway hydration, patient comfort and supplemental oxygen (if required).

What is a high flow oxygen device?

  • High flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) High flow oxygen therapy is a form of respiratory support used in the hospital where oxygen, often in conjunction with compressed air and humidification , is delivered to a patient at rates of flow higher than that delivered traditionally in oxygen therapy.

What is an airvo device?

  • The AIRVO Series comprises two similar devices; the AIRVO which is intended for use in hospitals and myAIRVO which is intended for home use. The AIRVO Series humidifiers are intended to treat spontaneously breathing patients who would benefit from receiving high flow, warmed and humidified respiratory gases.
