Artificial lung ventilation is a resuscitative technique which allows saving thousands of lives every day. No intensive care unit or office can do without lung ventilation equipment. This medical device helps patients overcome difficult critical moments like respiratory standstill.
An artificial lung ventilation machine introduces a gas mixture of necessary humidity and temperature into lungs. This way, it is possible to save patients’ lives.
Lung ventilation equipment consists of 2 units:
1. Execution unit. This is the most important part of the machine, which, in its turn, includes several other devices:
2. Control unit. It consists of a keyboard and a monitor, displaying all the necessary data to achieve the most efficient oxygen supply.
Lungs artificial ventilation is performed by a non-invasive or invasive method. In the latter case, the gas mixture enters the respiratory tract through the E.T. tube. Doctors insert it into the tracheostoma. While using a non-invasive method, air is supplied via a special mask.
There are several criteria, used to categorize lung ventilation machines:
1. Patient’s age. In this case, the ventilators are subdivided into five groups:
2. Method to bring a ventilator to operational condition:
3. Purpose:
4. Transportation and storage convenience:
When buying necessary equipment, we recommend you to mind not only low prices. It is also necessary to analyze its usability and functional features. The compressor model is one of the most important selection criteria. It is worth choosing an oil-free model because it is noiseless, compact, and lightweight.
Special warning sensor availability, facilitating gas mixture pressure and temperature monitoring, is also very important.
The medical ventilator price can be as low as 1500 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 72000 USD.
Well-known brands of medical ventilator in the United States are DRÄGER, Mindray and Datex Ohmeda. Outside of the US, top-selling brands are Chirana and Maquet.
Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used ones.
What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the ventilator machine price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
