When it comes to different vent circuit types, there are a few key distinctions to be aware of. The main difference lies in how the circuits deliver gases to the patient during mechanical ventilation. With a dual-limb circuit, the gases are delivered through two separate tubes—one for inspiration and one for expiration—allowing for more precise control over the respiratory cycle. On the other hand, a single-limb circuit combines both inspiratory and expiratory phases within a single tube, simpli …

Ventilation circuits play a crucial role in the provision of respiratory support to patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Understanding the different types of vent circuits is essential for healthcare professionals involved in critical care settings. This article provides an in-depth exploration of various vent circuits, including passive and active systems, as well as specialized modes such as High Frequency Oscillation Ventilation (HFOV), Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV), and Volume Con …

Medical Oxygen (gaseous) is used whenever you are not getting enough oxygen into your blood. This situation is called hypoxia. You can suffer from hypoxia if you have breathing difficulties due to respiratory disease, chest wounds or rib fractures. Hypoxia is also seen if you are in shock, bleeding badly, have a heart attack, have other heart problems or have carbon monoxide poisoning.Since a high level of oxygen saturation is required for cell metabolism, medical oxygen is used in these situati …

Kids with asthma don’t always have the easiest time getting used to nebulizers. if your child uses a nebulizer to take their asthma medication, you may be wondering how you can make their treatment time more enjoyable, and more comfortable, to complete. Nebulizers are often prescribed for children because they are easier to use than inhalers and require very little effort to be effective — but they do require a little bit of patience. Venture Respiratory offers a wide range of Chi …
