We would like to take a moment to thank you for choosing GE Healthcare for your patient care needs. Our goal is to provide you with the best training available and continue to support you while you use our devices.
Program Description This session is designed to give participants an overview of the Giraffe Warmer from a clinical perspective. This will include an overview and description of the features and benefits, a brief description of the clinical use of the device, and demonstrations related to clinical use of the device. Note that some of the items listed in this participant guide are optional items and may not have been purchased for your warmer.
Program Objective The objective of the session is to provide hospital clinical staff with an overview of the device so they can clinically understand the use of the device once training is completed for their care area of use within the hospital. This is not a substitute for basic clinical on-site training offered by GE Healthcare.
Participant Learning Objectives At the completion of this session, the participant will be able to: • Provide a description of the device and how it is used clinically • Identify the components on the front, back and sides of the device • Describe the features of the heater, lighting and all accessory options on the bed • Navigate the control panel on the front of the device • Identify the components on the optional resuscitation unit and describe how it is used clinically • Identify and discuss the patient admission process specific to care area of use • Demonstrate weighing procedure using in bed scale, if option is available • Successfully disassemble and reassemble the bed

Terms You Should Know Baby mode: Heat output controlled by the use of a patient skin temperature probe and selection of Baby mode. Commonly referred to as Servo Control by other manufacturers. DISS: Diameter Index Safety System is a set of internal and external diameters for hose fittings. Each medical gas is “keyed” to provide a safety system designed against attaching a hose to the wrong medical gas. ELBW: Extremely Low Birth Weight Grab and Go or Airtote: Names used to reference e-cylinder air or oxygen tanks that are equipped with a built in regulator, flow meter, and auxillary flow side port to deliver medical gases. HFOV: High Frequency Oscillating Ventilation iRes: Integrated Resuscitation System LBW: Low Birth Weight L&D: Labor and Delivery NICU: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit psi: A measurement of gas pressure that indicates pounds per square inch. Radiant Heat: Heat energy emitting from a warm element that warms a human and objects rather than directly heating the air. Resuscitation: a process to restore breathing. SpO2: Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry. Thermoregulation: Temperature control of the neonate. A critical physiological function that is strongly influenced by physical immaturity, extent of illness and environmental factors. VLBW: Very Low Birth Weight

2 Giraffe Warmer Overview Overview Objectives By the end of this chapter the learner should be able to:
2 Giraffe Warmer Overview
Identify all the main components used on the Giraffe Warmer.
Device Description Patients: Neonates or infants cared for on a radiant warmer.
Needs:
• Surgical, ECMO • Ventilated, cooling, or complex care support • Total patient access • Developmental care support • Family involvement • Thermoregulation
Infant radiant warmers provide infrared heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate based on their own physiology. Infant radiant warmers may be used to facilitate the neonate’s transition to the external environment or to provide a controlled open environment. An optional, integrated SpO2 monitoring feature may be used for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by an SpO2 sensor). An optional integrated resuscitation system may be used to provide the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant.

More About: Grab and Go Cylinders Your Giraffe Warmer may be equipped with Grab and Go Cylinders (customer supplied). The purpose of these cylinders is to provide air and oxygen tank medical gas support. 1. The five foot DISS hose attaches to a 55 psi port on the side of the Grab and Go tank. 2. The opposite end of the DISS hose attaches directly into the back of the iRes. 3. Turn the knob to AUX to turn on medical gas flow via the auxillary hose port. Medical gas will flow toward the iRes resuscitation system.

4. Tank pressure gauges on front of iRes system will register zero while the Grab and Go tanks are in use. Refer to the pressure gauges on each of the Grab and Go tanks for current pressure.

5. The e-cylinder holder mounts to side Mounting Rails. Note! The mounting bracket for the e-cylinders will not easily fit into the back Mounting Rails due to the angle and width of the bracket.

In Baby mode, the warmer controls radiant heater output based on temperature readings from a probe attached to the baby’s skin (skin probe) and a set temperature (set temp) you enter using the control panel.

• The two areas in the NICU, Newborn nursery or L&D that tend to have the highest concentration of germs are the scrub sink and the alarm silence button on equipment. To help counteract this issue, the Warmer has a Hands Free Alarm Silence. • Pass your hand slowly within six inches in front of the alarm light to silence the alarm. 100

• The alarm light has two infrared emitters and a detector in it to allow for hands-free silencing of alarms.

3. Turn the suction control switch On.
5. Once you have set the desired vacuum level, attach the suction catheter or meconium aspirator of your choice. 6. Turn the suction control switch off until ready to initiate resuscitation or airway support measures to avoid wasting gas. Suction Canister Care: • As part of the operator maintenance, it is recommended that the suction tubing between the regulator at the base of the resuscitation box and the canister be replaced every three months.
Suction tubing
Suction tubing is secured inside the Mounting Rail, connecting to the suction outlet at the base of the resuscitation system

Giraffe Warmer Clinical Participant Guide
T-piece Overview There are two options of resuscitation for delivering positive pressure with the resuscitation system. We will begin with the description of the T-Piece option. 1.
PIP control knob: A PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure) control knob and a flowmeter control medical gas supplied to a dedicated T-piece outlet. Pressures from 0 to 30 cmH2O (0 to 30 kPa) can be selected without restriction. Pressures up to 45, +/- 5cm H20 can be selected after pushing in the yellow override release and then turning the knob.
2.
The airway pressure manometer: Allows the Clinician to see pressure throughout the respiratory cycle. The airway pressure manometer displays both PIP and PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure).
3.
The primary flowmeter control: Located on the right side of the resuscitation system, it is used to adjust the flow delivered to the patient. A second flowmeter control and outlet (on the left) is provided for free flowing oxygen (blow-by) and is designed for resuscitation only. A manual resuscitator may be attached to the secondary flowmeter, but must be used with an independent airway pressure manometer. Both flowmeters allow for adjusted flows of 0-15 lpm.
4.
T-piece gas outlet: The T-piece circuit is attached to this outlet.
5.
T-piece circuit: Consists of tubing, a T-piece fitting with a PEEP control knob, and an end cap. A face mask or endotracheal tube is also necessary to use the system. GE Healthcare T-piece circuits are available with or without a face mask.
6.
Air and Oxygen tank gauges: Present with the blender option only. This applies to both the T-Piece and Bag and Mask resuscitation systems. Gauges register with use of traditional e-cylinder tanks secured into the rear yoke of the resuscitation system.
7.
Oxygen connection tubing: For free flow oxygen to the secondary outlet.
8.
Secondary gas outlet: Always a traditional flowmeter adapter.
9
Blender control knob: Regulates FiO2 from 21 to 100% from both medical gas outlets. Inlet ports on the back of the device allow attachment to medical gas supplies.
10. Medical gas switch: Toggle switch that turns on flow of medical gases to flowmeters and blender.
