EspañaHow are HME breathing filters maintained?
Date:2022-10-21
A HME BVF is a medical device that provides mechanical ventilation to patients who have a difficult breathing pattern. These devices are positioned in the anterior or posterior portion of the trachea. In order to prevent airway infection, HME filters need to be cleaned frequently.
It is important to place the HME breathing filter above the patient's lungs to reduce the risk of blockages. A lower filter can allow liquid to pass through easily, which may obstruct the airway and prevent the patient from breathing. This could be problematic since the filter might act as a one-way valve, allowing the ventilator to deliver the next breath. The filter should also be placed in a vertical orientation.
The HME breathing filter is connected to a tracheostomy using a base plate. A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that requires a tracheostomy. This requires the use of a breathing circuit and a voice prosthesis. In some patients, the filter can be attached to an intraluminal device, such as a laryngectomy tube.
HME breathing filters should be cleaned and maintained regularly. If the filter is not cleaned properly, mucous may settle on the back of the cassette and make it difficult to breathe. To prevent this, you can use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the back of the HME breathing filter. If necessary, you can also use a soft toothbrush. Once a day, or as needed, you should clean the HME cassette to make it more comfortable for the patient.
