Hospital Ventilation Therapy
Hospital Ventilation Therapy
Continuum of Caree

Uniquely, Respironics offers answers for every stage of a patient’s respiratory care. From chronic to acute, from invasive and non-invasive ventilation and monitoring in the ICU to respiratory drug delivery systems. Working together to support you and your patients’ needs, by making both of your lives’ easier.

Pre-Hospital

Early intervention and treatment with non-invasive CPAP can help prevent intubation, lower the incidences of nosocomial pneumonia and reduce the length of stay in hospital, particularly in ICU.

  • WhisperFlow® generators offer high flow and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure throughout the entire respiratory cycle. This reduces the patient’s work of breathing, improves oxygenation and increases patient comfort


  • Portable WhisperFlow generators eliminate the need for calibration or any equipment checks - invaluable to ambulance personnel in an emergency


  • A choice of variable, fixed and fixed low flow WhisperFlow generators means ambulance personnel can select the generator that matches the patient’s need in any given situation


  • Non-invasive WhisperFlow CPAP therapy is easy to initiate, adjust or discontinue. No intubation enhances patient comfort
Emergency

Emergency departments is where early intervention can make a big difference in a patient’s outcome and comfort. Non-invasive therapy can help prevent appropriate patients from experiencing further respiratory deterioration. NIV also allows emergency departments to provide respiratory support to patients who may not be admitted ICU access.

  • BiPAP® Vision® ventilators, which feature built-in oxygen delivery, and BiPAP® Focus™ ventilators, complete with built-in battery, are particularly well adapted for the application of NIV in emergency departments


  • Early enrollment into a non-invasive mode of ventilation improves patient outcomes(1)


  • Built-in battery accommodates in-hospital transfers


  • Intuitive and large graphic interface makes it easy to learn and to operate
Intensive Care Unit

In critical care conditions, it is important to combine ease of use and improved patient - ventilator synchrony in a reliable and cost effective platform. The variety of clinical conditions demand versatile designs offering all modes of ventilation, invasive and non-invasive, from neonates to adults.

Non-invasive ventilation

NIV has become an important element of the intensive care unit ventilation plan. Acute patients presenting ARF (Acute Respiratory Failures) with COPD, hypoxemic respiratory failures, weaning needs and post-op respiratory failures after extubation are potential indications for NIV.

Sub Acute Care

In the main, chronic patients respond very well to NIV and benefit from it with an increased survival rate. Clinical indications for NIV are widening to include COPD, CPE cardiogenic pulmonary edema, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, asthma and pneumonia. In addition, NIV can help reduce the demands on ICU resources.

Homecare Ventilation

With the transition from hospital to home, patients with chronic respiratory insufficiencies adapt their lives to their disability. The goal of Respironics is to provide a home ventilator to help people get on with their everyday lives, with minimum fuss and inconvenience.
