Ventilator Positive End Expiratory Pressure Valve
Item Name Code (INC) 48849
Additional Information for Ventilator Positive End Expiratory Pressure Valve
Ventilator Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) valves are medical devices used in mechanical ventilation to provide positive pressure during the expiration phase of the respiratory cycle. They are part of the Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies supply class, which falls under the Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies supply group.
PEEP valves are typically attached to the endotracheal tube or the patient's breathing circuit. They help maintain positive pressure in the lungs at the end of expiration, preventing alveolar collapse and improving oxygenation. By keeping the airways open, PEEP valves can also help reduce the work of breathing and improve overall lung function.
These valves are adjustable, allowing healthcare professionals to set the desired level of positive pressure. The pressure is usually measured in centimeters of water (cmH2O) and can be adjusted based on the patient's condition and specific respiratory needs.
Ventilator PEEP valves are essential in critical care settings, such as intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms, where patients may require mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure, acute lung injury, or other respiratory conditions.
It's important to note that PEEP valves should be used under the guidance of trained healthcare professionals, as improper use or adjustment can lead to complications or ineffective ventilation.
