Hello, a warm greeting to everyone.

I would ask if anyone, anywhere, has experience with handling of the new

mechanical ventilator for newborn of Dräger: Babylog VN500

Thanks

Hi,

We will be receiving about 12 of the VN500 in October. We had a trial period with the device for about a month on different cases in our NICU and really liked the machine. We used it on prem, MAS and NEC babies with conventional, HFV and used the adjunct VG. Very impressive graphics as well. Also I used the vent star circuit from Draeger, which may be used with all the modes including HFV, so no need to change the circuit. The MAS baby weighed about 4 kilo and the HFV worked very well. More to come after we have more experience with the device.

All I can say is that you are very lucky.
