The Vapotherm Flow Calculator is designed to be used only with the pediatric application of Vapotherm High Flow Therapy. The starting flow range is based on general physiology, and should be rounded to the nearest whole number. Actual flow should be titrated to effect.
In Neonatal populations, Vapotherm recommends a starting flow range of 4-6 L/Min.
In Adult populations, Vapotherm recommends a starting flow range of 25-30 L/Min.
Vapotherm High Flow Therapy provides support for patients in respiratory distress. Appropriate for all ages, from neonate to geriatric, Vapotherm Systems delivers comfortable, well-tolerated therapy that may help patients avoid the discomfort and expense associated with mechanical or pressure based ventilation support.
