Page views: 816 I have a very big request on the subject of topping up the water in the humidifier. I emphasise this so clearly because I hope you will be the first to comply with my request. Special request: fill to at least 50% The humidifier must always, at all times, without exception, be filled to at least 50% with water. If there is less water in the humidifier, this...
Page views: 1,010 For legal reasons, my provider (Vivisol, see the „Important contacts“ section for contact details) is responsible for familiarising me with the device. As my ventilation is never switched off and I only use a single ventilation profile, you don't need to know too much about it. My devices I have two identical Astral 100s. The emergency machine is always connected to a separate tube...

Pageviews: 921 This is the much-publicised sexy photo love story of my masks and me. We start with the change from nose mask to nose-mouth mask. Here's what happens: good preparation is half the battle. Prepare the nose-mouth mask. Open the lower magnetic fasteners on the lower straps. Make sure that the upper straps are correctly inserted into their respective holders and are not...

Page views: 1,010 Yes, you are reading correctly. Another copy & paste mask tutorial. An employee of my nursing service could possibly have avoided a warning if he had taken a look at the mask before he tried to put it on again and again and again the wrong way round. What is logical for the average person is not for a trained intensive care nurse with expert training...
