Lung Protective Ventilation

Ask your specialist

The big impact of lung protective ventilation

Get a deeper understanding of how to fit every patient’s lung ventilation needs. How can you effectively ventilate neonatal, paediatric or adult patient's lungs while protecting them at the same time? This continues to pose a major challenge in clinical settings.

How can you improve patient outcomes whilst maximising hospital’s resources? It’s worth paying more attention to customised ventilation. Ensuring gas exchange in the lungs, accelerating the weaning process from mechanical ventilation, treating the underlying causes of disease, and facilitating the patient's recovery. Learn why all of that is vital and how to implement in your working surroundings.

Lung protection during bariatric surgery

Obese patients have a higher risk of complications. Get to know why and how you can pay particular attention to the specific needs of their perioperative care. Based on current literature, several methods in ventilation and positioning enable you to downsize the higher risk of complications.

Paediatric anaesthesia

Protective ventilation for paediatric anesthesia

Most critical incidents and many of the perioperative cardiac arrests in pediatric anesthesia are related to the respiratory system. Anesthetists face a special challenge in their job ventilating children, newborns and preemies. The conclusions are far from exhausted, yet we’d like to offer further insight into this topic to help you protect your patients.

Image guided lung protection

See how you can fight the threats of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) – which often contributes to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – by making the invisible visible. Our approach of image-guided lung protection reveals previously unseen ventilation needs and assists with personalised ventilation.
