Pontus Johansson Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hello all! I just wanted to pop the question if you use moisted and heated air to your T-piece device/ BVM/ other device when ventilating/supporting respiration in the delivery room? We do in GA < 30 weeks with a Fischer Paykel humidifier. If so, what kind of moister/heater? Do you have various modes "normal", "invasive"? Do you use it in just ELBW infants or all? ...or do you use normal, dry air/O2 and wait with the moist and heat until in the NICU? Thanks for your input! //Pontus Johansson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Payne Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 We do not currently use any heated humidified air in the delivery room.....we do this once we get back to NICU. I would be interested to hear what others do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Cardona Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Here in Vienna, we use humidified heated air with our T-piece in preterms below 32 weeks with a Fischer-Paykel humidifier. Mode: normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcdermott Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 We are in the process of setting it up and plan to use for infants <32 weeks mainly because that is the gestation we send a nursing team from NICU to attend and they will set it up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelli KA Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi all, I am relaying a message from one PhD Twitter Xavi Jimenez ( PhD student , Neonatal nurse at VallHebron, Barcelona) he reply to my re-tweet of the survey by saying the following In the Delivery room they don’t use humidified air, they mostly central air conditioning. They use the humidified air in the NICU as an extra during the Summer month. Cheers, Jelli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozua Van Duuren Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hi Pontus, An interesting question, is there also clarity about the benefits of providing humidified/heated air in the delivery rooms? We simply provide dry air, but if there is a profit to be made here then it is worth investigating. When extremely premature babies lie in the plastic bag with their mother in the delivery room, I can see that this cools them down. I wonder what you do with the plastic bag. If the child is stable, do you drain the fluid and put the child in a new dry plastic bag? What is your method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
