aircarejunkyNeonate/Infant/Peds Transport Vent
Our group is looking for a vent to add to our rotor and fixed wing fleet that will accomodate infants - peds. Current vents can accomodate 10kg patients through adult. Need one that performs for flight at 9ml - 50ml volumes, is light weight and easy to use. Prefer if it incorporates the screen, etc. Like the look of the Crossvent's, anything else out there we should be considering?

We are currently using the new LTV1200 that is for patient 5kg and larger, volume range from 10ml-100ml, it has modes for multiple type of ventilation and internal peep unlike the older models. It is very light and you can get a lithium battery to extend you battery life which is also very small and light weight. We do still use the crossvent for our small neonates. I'm not sure what your patient population range is.
