What is Microflow used for?
Microflow is primarily used to supply supplementary oxygen to infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
BPD is common in very low birth weight and pre-term infants that have needed mechanical ventilation or have been treated with high oxygen concentrations due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/ chronic lung disease (CLD).
The risk of RDS/CLD is inversely related to birth weight and gestational age.
Infants may need very low supplementary oxygen for many months to compensatefor underdeveloped lungs.
Microflow benefits
- Enables baby to receive oxygen therapy at home, putting families together sooner and increasing parent satisfaction
- Less time in hospital, lower cost of care
- Accurate, repeatable steps
- Micro step changes in flow
- Enables low flow rates to achieve target saturation
- Enables oxygen flow to be weaned
