How much oxygen does a Vapotherm use?
The flow rates may be from 1 to 40 liters per minute via nasal cannula.
Is Vapotherm the same as high flow nasal cannula?
While common HFNC uses large bore cannulas, Vapotherm high velocity therapy uses a small bore cannula system. By generating high velocity, this therapy flushes the upper airway dead space faster than common HFNC.
What temperature should vapotherm be set at?
PURPOSE: The Vapotherm device uses membrane transfer technology to generate a high flow of warm humidified gas. Gas can be delivered via nasal cannula at flows of 5-40 L/min and at temperatures of 33-43°C.
How do I reset vapotherm?
To reset, first disconnect the unit from AC power and then press the Run/Standby Button. With the exception of O₂ sensor replacement, the unit must be repaired by an approved service facility. Cartridge and/or DPC not detected. Unit will not run.
How do you administer high flow oxygen?
You will be fitted with high flow nasal prongs which are soft. The nasal prongs will be placed inside your nostrils, then secured with an elastic string which goes around behind your head. The high flow oxygen will be delivered through your nose. The oxygen will feel warm and create a full feeling in your lungs.

How many Litres is vapotherm?
Selecting Liter Flows While clinicians should titrate flow to clinical effect, Vapotherm high velocity therapy generally achieves clinical efficacy between 25-35 LPM in adults, 6-8 LPM[4,5,6] in neonates, and for pediatric patients it is recommended to set the flow at 1.5-2LPM per kilogram of bodyweight, up to 8kg.
Is Vapotherm the same as CPAP?
Vapotherm high velocity therapy has been clinically proven as a mask-free and seal-free alternative to CPAP for both, primary respiratory support for RDS and post-extubation support.
How high can Vapotherm go?
While clinicians should titrate flow to clinical effect, Vapotherm high velocity therapy generally achieves clinical efficacy between 25-35 LPM in adults, 6-8 LPM[4,5,6] in neonates, and for pediatric patients it is recommended to set the flow at 1.5-2LPM per kilogram of bodyweight, up to 8kg.
What is the difference between BiPAP and Vapotherm?
Vapotherm high velocity therapy is Mask-Free NIV® for spontaneously breathing patients and as such a viable alternative to NiPPV (e.g. BiPAP®). Unlike pressure-based respiratory support modalities, it achieves oxygenation and ventilatory support through a high velocity flush of the patient’s end-expiratory gas.
