We use Atlanta Takaoka... Believe me, this are highly efficient, ventilators. Ours are busy 24/7 . Very easy to use. Residents, nurses and attendings like them .

we use siemens 300 a. Very useful less noisy than bear cub.

We use Maquet's Servo i in the NAVA or NIV NAVA modes mostly.

BabyLog, Servo i and High Frec. Sensor Medics... For non invasive ventilation we use Infant flow.

Babylog 8000, SLE 5000

We use Nellcor Puritan Bennett 840, they have an added neonatal component. They are flexible and work well.

At my UNIT in Lisbon we use Babylog 8000. SLE 2000 e Fabian, we still have some old Sensor medics that we

seldom use them

We use FabianHFO (acutronic medical systems) and Sensor Medics

We use Maquet servo-i non NAVA, for almost 5 years without any problem.. Recently we tried SLE 5000, it keeps on alarming every time we put on the baby (we also tried the HFO mode on it).. Not succesful, so it retire right now.. Please share the experience with this SLE 5000.. Some friends also have the same problems..

We also have GE, but not satisfied with it.. It always show apnoe in the monitor, eventough the baby is breathing.. The technician said that we should put off the flow sensor if we use PCV mode (really???)..

We also used to use AVEA, but the problem is also with the flow sensor.. It's easily broken..

For me, servo i is the best..

We use babylog and SLE5000. The SLE has a very sensitive sensor, to avoid the alarm all the time you just have to recalibrate the flow sensor everytime you disconnect the baby, be careful with water in the flow sensor! By recalibrating the sensor we were able to handle this problem and the SLE works really good, especially in HFO, but we still have problems with PSV mode and guaranteed volume, anyone can help?

We are using Babylog 8000 with the baby flow for invasive and non invasive, as well as Bubble CPAP.

we have Dragaer babylog 800, and Hamilton Galileo

The to units I work in use Babylog 8000, Stephanie and VN500. I have become a great fan of the VN500 because of its nice and intuitive user interface.

We have Drager babylog 8000 plus, Sensormedics 3100A and SLE 5000. I prefer the SLE 5000 for it's user friendly, power and versatility.

In our unit we use Babylog 8000+, for HFV sensor medics and SLE5000, and for NIV Infant flow

hmmm that's funny SLE should be a quite ventilator, it's probably your settings? how much trigger do you use? how much is the leak limit? are you using a flow sensor? what alarms do you usually encounter?

hi there, the current flow sensors of the SLE were quite tough right now. I agree with you about the sensitivity but i suggest that the positioning of the baby and the patient circuit shoyuld be taken care always. What is the problem with the PSV mode and the TTV (targeted tidal volume)?

Hi Servo-i , SLE perfect. For beginners SLE5000 (HFO)can be used as dual and rescue ventilation ,cost effective .

We use Avea for traditional mechanical ventilation, infant flow for Ncpap and sensor medics 3100a. Also we have medina for cpap and neopuff.

Hi we use SLE 5000

I'mn trying to get a stratedgy for TTV- PSV TTV seems to give me the best result - the baby controls rate, ITime and pressure and so weans itself.

What are other peoples experience of TTV?

Babylog 8000 and 8000+

We use babylog 8000 plus , baby log c 500

We have 2 babylog & 2 nellcor purertton benett. Both are easy to use.

Babylog 8000 plus (ac+vg or psv+vg

Sipap for niv

we have Drager evita 4 edition

We also had issues with the avea so we retired it. We bought a fleet of VN 500 and they work very well. Lovely transition from conventional to hfo and back all on the same ventilator.
