What is a ParaPAC ventilator?

Pneupac™ Designed specifically for use by respiratory therapists, paramedics, and trained emergency personnel, ParaPAC® enables greater control of breathing parameters. The dual controls allow easy selection of tidal volume and frequency to match your patient’s ventilatory requirements.

Who makes the ParaPAC ventilator?

SMITHS MEDICAL ASD, INC.
Manufacturer: SMITHS MEDICAL ASD, INC. Product description: The paraPAC plus gives you the versatility to deliver mechanical ventilation, demand and free flow oxygen therapy and CPAP all from one compact, lightweight unit. It enables greater control of breathing parameters.

Do ventilators need compressed air?

Most such ventilators can accept “low flow” oxygen at 15L/min, but to give 100% FiO2 one would need to supply these ventilators with at least 120 L/min. A compressed air supply is not required, but oxygen is still needed.

Can a PneuPac be used as a ventilator?

Pneupac® ParaPAC® Ventilator. The dual controls allow easy selection of tidal volume and frequency to match your patient’s ventilatory requirements. Suitable for ventilation during emergency or controlled transportation of adults, children and infants. MRI compatibility gives maximum flexibility for transport within the hospital.

What is the breathing frequency for a pneupac VR1?

With the other ventilators, breathing frequency was set at 10 breaths/min, and V T was set at 300, 500, and 700 mL. Two levels of F IO2 (1.0 and air mix) were available with the Pneupac VR1 (air mix, F IO2 = 0.5), ParaPAC 200DMRI (air mix, F IO2 = 0.45), and CAREvent MRI (air mix, F IO2 = 0.6).

Are there any MRI compatible ventilators that work?

Only the Servo-i maintained V T, F IO2, and PEEP at set levels. The pressure-relief valves worked in all ventilators. CONCLUSIONS: None of the MRI-compatible ventilators maintained V T, F IO2, and PEEP at set levels. Vital signs of patients with unstable respiratory mechanics should be monitored during transport and MRI.

When to use a parapac ventilator in a hospital?

Suitable for ventilation during emergency or controlled transportation of adults, children and infants. MRI compatibility gives maximum flexibility for transport within the hospital. Designed specifically for use by respiratory therapists, paramedics, and trained emergency personnel, ParaPAC® enables greater control of breathing parameters.
