Respuesta :
The T-piece is connected to the client's artificial airway.
The client is removed from the mechanical ventilator for a short period of time.
Supplemental oxygen is provided through the T-piece at a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) that is 10% higher than a ventilator setting.
T-pieces to deliver humified oxygen to a long term ventilated patient who is being weaned from the ventilator. We generally do first day 1-2 hours t-piece, then 2 hrs. ventilator, and continue that for the day as tolerated, and then back onto pressure support for the night. The second day, if tolerated, the patient will have longer turn abouts between the t-piece and the ventilator...and so on until the patient is fully weaned. They can go to the ward permanently on a t-piece. For turns, baths, transfers to radiology etc., we generally put the patient on a Swedish nose for convenience, but then pop them back onto the t-piece as soon as practical.
The purpose of a T-piece is to deliver humidified oxygen to a trach or ETT and to facilitate weaning by doing a couple hours on T-piece and then back over to CPAP/PS on the vent when they get tired.
