Mouthpiece (whistle) used by patient to inhale and exhale gases
Balloon fills with anesthetic gases
Universal connector attaches to anesthesia breathing circuit
Instructions for the anesthesia professional:
1. Attach the universal connector of the PeDIA to the anesthesia breathing circuit as you would the anesthesia mask.
2. Turn the APL valve (pop-off) to minimum.
3. Obstruct the whistle/mouthpiece using your thumb/finger to trap gases inside balloon.
4. Turn up flows of oxygen and nitrous oxide sufficient to inflate the PeDIA.
5. Hand the child the inflated PeDIA Balloon.
a. Be sure the child seals their lips around the mouthpiece.
b. Be sure child inhales and exhales only through the mouth, not the nose.
6. As the child exhales and inhales, observe the system is working properly.
a. PIPs remain low
b. Balloon slightly inflates and deflates.
7. After 2-3 breaths, dial-in the volatile anesthetic of choice.*
8. When the child falls asleep or is too sleepy to hold a proper seal lips around whistle, take the PeDIA from the child and lay the child supine.
9. Detach PeDIA from the anesthesia circuit using a gentle pull.
10. Attach the anesthesia mask to the breathing circuit.**
11. Support patient respiration with mask-ventilation and continue induction/intubation.
12. Discard the PeDIA per facility protocol.
*Noncombustible anesthetic agents should be used with gas flows and anesthetic concentrations determined by the anesthesia provider.
**Before switching to a mask, the practitioner may elect to vent the gases into the circuit.
