Recruitment manoeuvres are transient, sustained increases in transpulmonary pressure designed to open up collapsed airless alveoli.

Primarily used in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
They can be used as part of an open lung approach (OLA) to mechanical ventilation
Their role, and how they should be performed, remains controversial and should not be considered part of routine practice

nbarker2021 — 2023-07-07 13:43:34 UTC

Further issues noted with regards to incorrect documentation and processing of Expiratory valves and Expiratory flow sensors.

Expiratory valves are cleaned by Autoclave/CSSD, see above Re: Assembly of valves.
Once patient no longer requires ventilation, 4 key components of the Expiratory valve including:

* Expiratory valve,
* Diaphragm (membrane)
* Sensor sleeve (mesh)
* Water trap container

Are then placed in blue kidney dish - paperwork to remain with this, place 1x orange sticker in patient notes and one to remain with CSSD form.

Ensure kidney dish containing expiratory valve components and paperwork are safely stored together within clear bag, and then left on ITU Technician desk for processing. If urgent CSSD required please liaise directly with Sterile services on 33305/33306

Flow sensors are not included in this process. These are wipe cleaned/disposed of by us on the unit.

The flow sensor is used to measure a patient's exhaled gas flow from the expiratory limb. Data is then used to calculate exhaled tidal and minute volume. The sensor works by measuring the cooling effect of the gas passing over thin, heated wires. The higher the cooling effect, the higher will be the flow of gas. In order to be accurate, the sensor needs to know the density of the gas, which is provided to the measurement system by the gas analysis data. If sensors are autoclaved as per Expiratory valve this could damage these sensitive wires and mean calibration and measurement of flow is inaccurate/unable to be processed.

Teaching is occurring daily on the unit, however please do not hesitate to see Nat if any further questions
