SuperNO2VA™ is a valuable tool for the application of oxygenation and nasal positive airway pressure in sedated patients.
Features & Benefits
Pre-oxygenate
Relieve upper airway obstruction due to decreased level of consciousness
Maintain ventilation
Rescue ventilate
Ease access for intra-oral procedures
Be used peri-operatively
Positive Nasal Pressure
• Reduce the risk of hypoxemia due to upper airway obstruction in patients with a decreased level of consciousness
• Stent open the upper airway to oxygenate patients before, during, and after surgery anywhere an oxygen source exists
• Allow for nasal positive pressure delivery with open access to the oral cavity for procedures
Deliver both nasal positive airway pressure and oxygen.
Can be connected direct to an oxygen flow meter
Kitted option requires only an oxygen source to deliver support
Preoperative PAP
There are several therapies used to reduce the risk of perioperative hypoxemia in adult patients. They include: CPAP/NIV, nasal PAP ventilation, nasal high flow, and other means of oxygen delivery (oxygen masks and oxygen nasal cannula). CPAP/NIV and nasal PAP devices deliver both positive pressure ventilatory support and oxygen.
Some of these therapies DELIVER OXYGEN, BUT NOT VENTILATORY SUPPORT. They include: nasal high flow
oxygen therapy, and oxygen delivery via an oxygen mask or nasal cannula.
Ventilatory support may offer benefits for sedated patients at risk of hypoxemia due to upper airway obstruction. There are several studies which recommend the use of nasal CPAP (nCPAP) in particular versus oxygen delivery as it does not include a ventilatory support component.
