HOW TO SAFETLY CARE FOR A CHILD NEEDING NIV: A basic guide
Ensure you know why the patient needs Non Invasive Ventilatory support.
CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It provides a positive pressure of air through the nose
and mouth, stenting open the upper-airway, preventing the bronchioles and alveoli from collapsing
and maintaining adequate gaseous exchange. Measured in centimetres of water (cmH2O).
BIPAP is BI-level Positive Airway Pressure and this provides two pressures; an IPAP (Inspiratory positive
airway pressure) and an EPAP (Expiratory positive airway pressure). It assists inspiration to achieve an
optimal tidal volume, while preventing airway closure during expiration.
Three main Long Term NIV ventilators in the Trust
Stellar 100/150
CPAP/BIPAP
How to connect to main power supply
Ensure the plug is securely in the socket at the back of the ventilator and the plug at the wall is
switched on.
If mains power is not connected
The Stellar 100 has a 2-4 hr internal battery depending on pressure needed and if humidification is
required. The vent will automatically switch to battery mode and alarm to inform you. Amount of
battery charge is shown on the top right of vent screen.
The Nippy has a 2-4 hour battery depending on pressure. The amount of battery charge is shown on
the top right of vent screen.
The Airsense 10 does not have a battery therefore cannot be used unless plugged into the mains. If a
child is more dependent on their ventilation they should be on either the Nippy or the Stellar
To note -the older the ventilator the less likely the ventilator will have a fully functional battery.
Always keep the ventilator plugged in and carry out a battery test if needed to be used.

Page 5: Oxygen Supply
The Airsense 10- as per NIPPY advice The Stellar 100- the oxygen should go via the back of the machine using the white oxygen port. If this is not available then use a green oxygen enrichment port and attach between the vent and the tubing as per NIPPY advice. - Page 6 Can change the filter Dust particle filters at the back of the ventilator on the Stellar 100, the Nippy and on the side of an Airsense They should be changed 3 monthly on manufacturer advice, check monthly, if very dirty discard and replace, do not wash and re-use Avoid keeping the ventilator on the floor.
- Page 7 GOSH- to –Home Long Term Ventilation Service MASK FIT Where possible fit mask first then start ventilation once good placement of mask has been achieved Fit the mask correctly To fit the mask well, ensure the nostrils are not occluded and the mask is not in the eyes. Nasal mask: place the mask at the tip of top lip and roll up to the nasal bridge Fullface mask: start with base at the crease of the chin and roll up to sit below the eye.
- Page 8 The NIPPY An external humidifier is needed With the Stellar 100 and Airsense 10 Never fill chamber when machine is on (it’s a messy experience!), Ensure the lid is closed properly, this is a major cause for leak. Aim to have the humidifier below the patient to avoid rainout traveling towards the airway.
