What is T-piece mask?

The Neo-tee T-Piece Resuscitator is a gas powered emergency resuscitator intended to provide emergency respiratory support by means of a face mask or a tube inserted into a patient’s airway. It is intended for use with neonates and infants weighing less than 10kg (22lb).

What is the function of T piece?

Mapelson E systems, also known as Ayre’s T-piece, are used in anaesthesia for children. The reservoir consists of a length of tubing; if this is short, then the system functions more like an open system. They have no valves or reservoir bag, meaning they have low resistance to spontaneous breathing.

What is the purpose of a T piece?

T-shaped tubing connected to an endotracheal tube; used to deliver oxygen therapy to an intubated patient who does not require mechanical ventilation. Synonym: T-bar.

What is the optimal PEEP?

Best or optimal PEEP will be defined as the PEEP below which PaO2 /FIO2 falls by at least 20%. If at least 20% PaO2 /FIO2 decrement is not obtained, then PEEP that will result in the highest PaO2 will be selected. Other Name: PEEP determined by Best oxygenation approach. Other: PEEP by Best Compliance.

Does high PEEP lower blood pressure?

For elderly patients with hypertension, low levels of PEEP have less effect on blood pressure and cardiac output, while higher levels of PEEP can significantly affect blood pressure and cardiac output.

What is the T piece resuscitator used for?

The T-piece resuscitator (TPR) is a device widely used to provide positive pressure ventilation during resuscitation of infants ≤10 kg. 1 The device requires an interface to the patient via face mask, laryngeal mask airway or endotracheal tube (ETT).

Is the neopuff T piece a good resuscitator?

At set PIP 40 cmH 2 O and Crs 3 mL/cmH 2 O, the delivered mean PIP was significantly lower at 35.3 cmH 2 O. Conclusions As Crs increases, the Neopuff TPR can produce clinically significant levels of auto-PEEP and thus may not be optimal for the resuscitation of term infants with healthy lungs.

Why are ventilator resuscitation devices so popular?

Ease of use, ability to provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), availability of devices inbuilt into resuscitaires and cheaper disposable options have increased its popularity as a first-line device for term infant resuscitation. Research into its ventilation performance is limited to preterm infant and animal studies.

How does neopuff TPR compare to T piece?

In vitro testing of the new system, with simulated spontaneous breathing measured a reduction in imposed WOB (91.5% with face mask and 86.6% with nasal prongs) compared with Neopuff TPR. There have been no published data of the systems performance during PPV.
