Information on pneumatic medication
nebulization
Medication nebulization may be used in all
ventilation modes.
The medication nebulizer nebulizes continuously.
The aerosol generated during expiration does not
reach the lungs, however.
O
2
concentration during nebulization
Air is used for medication nebulization. The
delivered O
2
concentration is therefore lower than
the set O
2
concentration.
If FiO
2
must remain constant, set the O
2
concentration using the nomogram.
Example:
With an inspiratory flow of 10 L/min and a desired
O
2
concentration of 80 Vol.%, the
O
2
-Vol.%
setting
knob must be set to 90 Vol.% during medication
nebulization.
CAUTION
Reduced O
2
concentration
Air is used for medication nebulization. The
delivered O
2
concentration is therefore lower
than the set O
2
concentration.
If required, set a higher inspiratory O
2
concentration.
CAUTION
Insufficient medication nebulization
A medication nebulizer fault is not detected by
Babylog 8000.
– Check the correct functioning of the
medication nebulizer.
– Check whether aerosol is generated.
