Vapotherm: Advanced Non-Invasive Respiratory Support for Neonates and Children
Dr. Soha Asham, a consultant pediatrician specializing in neonatal intensive care, provides a comprehensive explanation of the Vapotherm system — a U.S.-made, non-invasive respiratory device designed to deliver heated, humidified high-flow oxygen to neonates and pediatric patients.
The system includes low and high flow Disposable Patient Circuits (DPCs), nasal cannulas for all age ranges (from preterm infants to adults), and offers adjustable flow rates from 1 to 40 L/min, depending on the patient’s needs. The intuitive design allows caregivers to easily set FiO₂, temperature (up to 37°C), and flow rate with minimal training, making it ideal for NICU and pediatric units.
✅ Key Benefits
Safe and Humidified Delivery: Prevents micro-aspiration by separating air and water during humidification
Flexible Flow Rates: Supports both low-flow (1–8 L/min) and high-flow (5–40 L/min) oxygen therapy
Simple Setup: Easy for nursing staff to operate with doctor supervision — only three parameters to adjust
Clinically Proven: Effective for respiratory distress in neonates and young children, with minimal complications
Local Support: Distributed in Egypt by Total Care, offering 24/7 technical assistance and access to consumables 🛠️
