Transport ventilation for neonates
The Hamilton-T1 with neonatal option is a high-end transport ventilator that provides the best possible ventilation therapy for the smallest and most vulnerable patients. During transport, the Hamilton -T1 delivers the same performance as a fully featured NICU ventilator at the bedside. Supporting tidal volumes of just 2 ml, the Hamilton -T1 uses a robust neonatal flow sensor that accurately measures pressure, volume, and flow proximal to the patient. This guarantees the required sensitivity and response time, and prevents dead space ventilation. Therefore, the patient is better synchronized and the work of breathing (WOB) is reduced. The new neonatal expiratory valve can balance even the smallest differences in pressure and offers the neonate the possibility to breathe spontaneously in each phase of a controlled breathing cycle. In addition to all modern neonatal ventilation modes, the Hamilton -T1 offers a new generation of nCPAP. In the new nCPAP-PC (pressure control) mode, only the desired CPAP target value for the patient is defined and the ventilator automatically and continuously adapts the required flow to the patient’s condition and possible leaks. Thanks to the demand flow technology, the patient will receive only as much flow as is necessary to obtain the set CPAP target. This reduces WOB, reduces the need for user interventions and ensures optimal leak compensation.
