Non-invasive interface options for neonatal patients are limited, increasing the risk of pressure injuries. Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI) should prioritize proactive strategies over reactive responses.

The flow-pro Dual Lumen Cannula from DRW Medical may enable a quicker transition to high-flow therapy, shortening the use of non-invasive interfaces while still providing sufficient patient support, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of pressure injuries.

In the past, the evidence regarding dynamic positive pressures from HFNC has been mixed due to variables such as prong and cannula size and flow rates. Today, the NEW LP-35* with enhanced features—such as real-time waveforms and touchscreen operation—offers clinicians NHF monitoring data, informing the choice of safe and sufficient flow rates. Pairing the LP-35 with the flow-pro Dual Lumen Cannula allows clinicians to monitor for dynamic resultant pressures generated by flow rates that meet and exceed inspiratory demands, decreasing the patient’s work of breathing.

DRW Medical has the tools you need to make these proactive changes with safety and confidence, knowing that you are using the latest technology for providing safe and sufficient therapy while also protecting delicate tissues from potential pressure injuries.

* The flow-pro Dual Lumen Cannula is also compatible with the NAPA LP-15.
