Spontaneous ventilation can be assisted or replaced by delivering mechanical ventilation through positive airway pressure or negative airway pressure to the chest wall. The main objectives of mechanical ventilation are;
To help improve gas exchange and optimise lung function
To reduce the work of breathing
To correct hypoxaemia and respiratory axcidosis
To help stabilise the chest wall in the presence of chest trauma or surgery
To help reduce left ventricular (LV) afterload that may lead to an improved cardiac function
ResMed offers a broad range of mechanical ventilation options for invasive and noninvasive (NIV)applications for high end ICU transport ventilation, NIV ventilation and home ventilation (invasive and NIV).
Our total suite of mechanical ventilation solutions includes therapy devices that range from patients who require acute to chronic long term ventilation, complemented by our suite of non-vented (NV) and vented masks to provide you with the complete solution.
ResMed NIV Solutions
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) provides ventilatory support to patients who suffer from respiratory insufficiency.
NMD is a broad term that encompasses many diseases and ailments that impair the functioning of the muscles either directly via intrinsic muscle pathology, or indirectly via nerve pathology.
