Important instruction: prong and mask application
•
Do not insert the prongs fully into the nostrils. The
connector block should not touch the nose.
•
Regularly switching between prong and mask is an effective
method for avoiding or reducing damage to the patient's
skin.
•
Do not pull the straps too tight. The Miniflow is held
primarily by means of the bonnet and the foam. If the leak
is too large, check the selected prong or mask size – pulling
the straps more tightly does not by itself solve the problem.
•
Excessively tightening the straps or inserting the prongs
too far can lead to pressure points on the baby's nose or
skin.
Important instruction: fixation of the inspiratory and expiratory
tubes
•
Ensure that the weight of the tubes does not pull directly
on the patient's head or on the interface. Use cushioning
to support the tubes.
•
The inspiration and expiration tubing should slope away
from the patient and the Miniflow so that the water
condensation does not come into contact with the baby.
(7) Regularly check the CPAP parameters and the fixation.
Important instruction: regular check of the fixation:
Check the fit and fixation of Miniflow and the accessories
regularly to avoid pressure sores.
Check the prongs and masks regularly for accumulation of
secretions to avoid obstruction.
