Hello. everybody: First of all, I´d like to apologize for my english. I´m
spanish and I always speak in my language but I´ll try to do it the best.
At least I expect you will understand me.
I´m not a vent user but I work with vent users. I´m a doctor, working in
the North of Spain (Oviedo in the region of Asturias). My field is Critical
Care an Home Mechanical Ventilation. The majority of my patients use the
ventilator non invasely with a face mask but I have some patients wiht a
trach, using the ventilator in a 24 hours basis. I think it´s great what
you are doing sharing your experiences and I would like you to help me
because that would help my patients. In Spain we have less experience with
home mechanical ventilation, specially in ventilator dependent patients.
I would like to ask you some question about humifdification in trach. Is
anyone of you using heat and moisture exchangers?. I use this system with
my patients and seems to be confortable and simply to use. What do you
think about it?
Thank you for all.
