Temporary fix Hopefully

Well, after another awful mucous plug where no air went in or out from the ventilator, I finally got on Ebay, and bought something that'll just have to do. It's called a Hybernite Heated tube, and essentially It's the poor man's Heated Circuit, and It's not really used for ventilation of a trach patient, but It's all I've got. Essentially It has no temperature probes, and no digital control and so the hose will be set at a certain temperature, no control over what temp that is, and that'll have to do. I almost got two one for inspiratory side of the circuit, and one for expiratory side of the circuit, but one heated tube is $82, so   well, I'm going to see if one does all right first, and well all right being "What I'm Going To Get!" My DME if you ask me is a very sad story. It's just  ridiculous how they would give you something that's not even suppose to be used in a situation lke I'm having to use it in. If I were working there, they'd probably consider me the massive thorn in their side, but I'd make sure patients got the CORRECT humidity and I don't mean some heater plate that has a dial that you set with no idea what your patient air/oxygen temperature is, and no idea what your heater end's temperature is. That's dangerous, and unacceptable. I can empty the water fairly well, and yeah, I can somehow at 03:00  in the morning deal with a DISC/SENSE alarm because a massive amount of condensation resulted in some pouring into the Sense lines, but twhat If this were a patient with  ALS, or D.M.D. or what if it were a baby who couldn't say, "There's water pouring out of the circuit into my trach," and they have to feel the awful drowning sensation from the  water going where it should NOT GO!! IN THE LUNGS!! It makes me sick and hurts me to think about that, but hey, The HC150s would be OUT THE WINDOW if I worked for my DME, and  LITERALLY!! LOL!! I could put one on a drone, take that drone up 400 feet, and then release the cargo, somewhere below, maybe in the water, or maybesomewhere where It'd be damaged enough to land in pieces somewhere. I don't know, but it wouldn't survive, and would be replaced with something like an HC500, or even better, the MR850, which is truly a wonderful Heater.

But, we'll see what the Hybernite tubing does on my circuit. The only issue is having to change out the circuit every month which is going to be a huge pain, because either I'll have to get a new Hybernite system every month, or I'll have to change everything else out, and leave that Hybernite system in line for three to six months.

It's still nowhere near where I really should be, but Unless I can get sme assistance with what should have been a default humidification, That's gonna have to do.

I still think the idea of taking the awful HC150s up on a drone, and dropping somewhere would be fun. Why? Because drones would be involved, and  If there's a drone involved, I'm gonna be there.

Thanks a lot for reading another blog post, and May God Bless You, And Keep You.

REMEMBER my friends, ONLY HE, can love you PERFECTLY!
