Many COPD patients or family members often do not know how to adjust the parameters correctly after buying a ventilator, but in fact, neither the manufacturer nor the dealer will recommend that the patient adjust the parameters by himself.
Under normal circumstances, the manufacturer will not tell the patient the entrance to the parameter adjustment interface. This is because the parameter adjustment of the ventilator is very important for the treatment link, generally controlled by the doctor, so the parameter setting must refer to the doctor's opinion, if the patient does not know how to adjust the situation after the purchase of the machine, it is recommended to consult with their own attending doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor, contact the service provider of the ventilator they purchased for parameter setting.
Therefore, the ventilator this product, in fact, the requirements for after-sales service are also very high,
However, there are also some functions on the ventilator that can be set up by themselves:
1. Delay boost function
In general, ventilators are used more often at night, and the pressure of the ventilator will definitely cause some discomfort whether it is for patients with sleep apnea or for PATIENTS with COPD and OSAHS.
Then at this time, the delay boost function can play an effect, when you are not asleep, the ventilator will work at a relatively low pressure, so that you can effectively reduce the discomfort, and then to the set time, after the patient falls asleep, and then raise the pressure to the set treatment pressure.
Taking The 5 Series ventilators of Hepule as an example, the delay boost is one gear every 5 minutes, and the maximum can be set for 45 minutes.
2. Heating and humidification function
At present, in addition to some portable ventilators on the market, basically equipped with humidifiers, because the ventilator will always output a higher pressure to the airway, so the heating humidification function can play a role in protecting the airway, improving comfort, and can effectively improve compliance during treatment.
When using the heating humidification function, you can set the humidification gear according to your actual needs, taking the Pule 5 series ventilator as an example, with 5 gears of heating and humidification function, then you can first compromise the setting to 3, if it feels a little dry, you can continue to rise the high gear or lower the gear.
