Question
We are starting a new ENT Service at the Veterans Out Patient Clinic in Redding California. I am in need of a quote for multiple instruments, multiple quantities. Unfortuanitly I do not have a phone number to be contacted at, as I have rotating desks at this time. Email is the best way to contact me, but if you have a phone number I can contact you to disscuss our needs. Do you know if you already have a contract with the VA at all?

Answer

The quotation will be sent to you.  I will need additional information on the instruments as noted in th e-mail and voicemail left for you earlier.

Question
What is the PEEP mean om the trilogy 100

Answer

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is the pressure in the lungs (alveolar pressure) above atmospheric pressure (the pressure outside of the body) that exists at the end of expiration. The two types of PEEP are extrinsic PEEP (PEEP applied by a ventilator) and intrinsic PEEP (PEEP caused by a non-complete exhalation). Pressure that is applied or increased during an inspiration is termed pressure support.

Applied (extrinsic) PEEP — is usually one of the first ventilator settings chosen when mechanical ventilation is initiated. It is set directly on the ventilator.
 
A small amount of applied PEEP (3 to 5 cmH2O) is used in most mechanically ventilated patients to mitigate end-expiratory alveolar collapse. A higher level of applied PEEP (>5 cmH2O) is sometimes used to improve hypoxemia or reduce ventilator-associated lung injury in patients with acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or other types of hypoxemic respiratory failure.
