Intensive Care Ventilators
—We advance ICU respiratory management with intensive care ventilators offering standard modes like non-invasive ventilation and high flow oxygen therapy. We enhance patient outcomes, workflows, transport, and mobilisation.
Image-guided lung protection
One of the major challenges in caring for ventilated patients in the intensive care unit is determining the individual ventilation settings needed to ensure lung protection. Our image-guided lung protection approach enables you to see the previously unseen – so you can truly personalise ventilation. This can help alleviate some of the negative issues seen with mechanical ventilation, such as ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI), which often contributes to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
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.
State-of-the-art mechanical ventilators for every situation
—Our medical ventilators are built to exceptionally high standards. Our ventilation machines come standard with the latest respiratory therapies needed for intensive medical care – so patients can receive safe, individualized treatment. Plus, they can be upgraded with options based on the specific needs of the hospital. You can configure our acute care ventilators as an integrated component of a ceiling supply unit, moveable trolley system, or mobile unit for transport.

Prevent intubation as long as possible

High-Flow Oxygen Therapy: Non-Invasive Respiratory Support
This non-invasive respiratory support is typically used for spontaneously breathing patients who require oxygen at higher flow rates. Especially high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy can provide respiratory support for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and may help to prevent subsequent intubation.
In preterm infants high flow O2 therapy with HFNC has similar rates of efficacy to other forms of non-invasive respiratory support for preventing treatment failure, death and chronic lung disease (CLD).
Non-Invasive Ventilation: Gentle And Cost-Effective Therapy
The use of NIV has increased significantly in ICUs across Canada and the world. It results in the potential complications of invasive mechanical ventilation being avoided. It also helps to deliver cost-effective therapy with decreased length of stay in the ICU and an improved chance of survival.2,5

Can APRV prevent ARDS?
Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) applies continues positive airway pressure with integration of spontaneous breathing.
Dräger PulmoVista® 500 – making ventilation visible
PulmoVista 500 helps adjust ventilation settings to achieve individually optimized ventilation with regional specific, continuous and dynamic information at the bedside.

Variable Pressure Support
Making random ventilation changes to imitate the “noise” is an innovative way to improve outcome. Visit our topics page to learn more about Variable Pressure Support.
Proportional Pressure Support (PPS)
Allow the patient to take control of ventilation with Proportional Pressure Support (PPS) which applies patient-triggered pressure support in proportion to the patient’s inspiratory effort.
SmartCare/PS
This integrated automated clinical protocol is designed to stabilise the patient’s spontaneous breathing in a comfortable zone of normal ventilation.

Improves outcome, shortens ICU stay
SmartCare/PS is an integrated automated clinical protocol that is designed to stabilize the patient’s spontaneous breathing in a comfortable zone of normal ventilation.
Early Mobilization
Traditionally, every patient admitted to an ICU is immediately put on enforced bed rest. Research now shows that bed rest can have adverse effects on muscles and organs, which can impair neuropsychological functions and reduce movement capacity.
