RESUMEN
Introducción. La válvula de Boussigna permite entregar un nivel de presión positiva continua en vía aérea (CPAP) a los enfermos, con la única necesidad de una fuente de gas de alto flujo. Estudiamos si las variaciones en la humedad y temperatura podrían afectar al dispositivo de CPAP. Material y Método. Estudio experimental, realizado en condiciones de laboratorio. Medimos la CPAP conseguida mediante una válvula de Boussignac de Vygon® ante distintas condiciones de humedad y temperatura ambiental. Se utilizaron, además de la citada válvula, una fuente de O2 medicinal con un caudalímetro, un serpentín de cobre para calentar/enfriar el gas, un humidificador Respiflo de Kendall®, y una cubeta de aislamiento térmico. Las mediciones de CPAP se hicieron con un manómetro digital, y las de temperatura y humedad con un termo-higrómetro (previamente calibrados). Tras realizar varias mediciones para un mismo flujo, ante distintas condiciones de humedad y temperatura, se compararon los resultados obtenidos mediante la prueba de la "t" de Student (comparaciones dos a dos) y ANOVA. Se demandó un intervalo de confianza mínimo de 95%. Resultados. Para los diferentes flujos analizados (15, 20 y 25 litros/minuto) se comprueba cómo ante distintas condiciones de temperatura (en rangos de 4-6 ºC, 24-26 ºC y 40-42 ºC) y humedad (2%, 15-20%, 35-40% y 80-85%) se obtienen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los niveles de CPAP entregados. Conclusión. La temperatura y la humedad a la que se utilicen el oxígeno y el dispositivo de CPAP de Boussignac influyen en los niveles de presión obtenidos, pudiendo llegar a diferencias de presión cercanas al 20% en algunas circunstancias, para un mismo flujo (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. The Boussignac valve makes it possible to provide a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) level to the patients, this only requiring a high flow gas source. We have studied if the variations in gas humidity and temperature could affect the CPAP device. Material and method. Experimental study performed under laboratory conditions. We measured the CPAP obtained with a Boussignac valve (Vygon)®, under different humidity and environmental temperature conditions. In addition to the mentioned valve, a source of medicinal O2, a copper coil to modify the gas temperature, Respiflo humidifier (Kendall)® and a bucket of heat insulation were used. CPAP measurements were made with a digital pressure gauge, and temperature and humidity conditions were measured with a previously calibrated thermus-hygrometer. After several measurements were obtained for a same flow, with different humidity and temperature conditions, the results obtained were compared with the Student's t test (two-sided comparison) and ANOVA. A minimum interval of 95% confidence was required. Resuts For the different flows analyzed (15, 20 and 25 liters/minute), it was verified that different conditions of temperature (in ranks of 4-6 ºC, 24-26 ºC and 40-42 ºC) and humidity (2%, 15-20%, 35-40% and 80-85%) obtained statistically significant differences in the CPAP levels. Conclusions. The temperature and humidity under which oxygen and Boussignac CPAP device are used influence the CPAP pressure levels, and it was possible to reach differences in pressure close to 20% under some circumstances for a same flow (AU)
