Let me state up front that I am an employee of Pro-Tech, manufacturer of the PTAFlite and the PTAF2. I have had many customers state that they use both thermal devices and pressure transducers. The way to put these onto the patient is to have them taped together, the pressure cannula prongs closest to the patient's nares and the thermal devices only out in front of them, where the temperature change will be the greatest (room temp to body temp). By taping them together first, they can be placed onto the patient as a single unit.
The PTAFlite works wonderfully in most situations but there are compatibility issues with some systems (Rembrandt and Monet).
To be safest I always recommend the PTAF2 because it can also have it's output put into DC inputs of recording systems by merely changing cables, making it more versatile.
Using thermal devices and pressure devices should not hinder one another because they measure such completely different parameters.Clearer or foggier? ;)
