Bring lung protection into focus
As Your Specialist in Acute Care, we know that if intubation becomes necessary, the first aim may be to improve gas exchange and lung mechanics. The initiation of a lung protective ventilation strategy and the optimisation of ventilator settings may be key elements during this phase. The ventilator has to adapt to the patient and not vice versa.
Stabilisation as second step of the Respiration Pathway
—
Stabilise the patient and protect the lung because...
- patients could develop ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI)
- VALI could turn into acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
- multiple organ failure and mortality rate may increase, associated with ALI or ARDS
Tidal ventilation and risk of VILI
—Repeated tidal recruitment and de-recruitment may lead to ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) (lower pictures). If alveoli are stabilised by sufficient PEEP at end-expiration, tidal ventilation is less likely to induce any negative side effects (upper pictures).
Can APRV prevent ARDS?
Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) applies continues positive airway pressure with integration of spontaneous breathing. Would you like to learn more?
Dräger PulmoVista® 500 – making ventilation visible
PulmoVista 500 helps adjust ventilation settings to achieve individually optimised ventilation with regional specific, continuous and dynamic information at the bedside.
Our set of treatment tools to protect the lung
—Stabilising a patient’s breathing means to be well informed about the state of the lung, at all times. Let us assist you with a set of proven tools.
LowFlow PV Loop to help to identify inflection points of the lung to find optimal PEEP and/or VT resp. Pinsp settings.
Quick Set and PressureLink to support the oriented workflow to allow the application of any recruitment procedure.
Recruitment trends to support the analysis of recruitment procedures and the set-up of a lung protective ventilation strategy.
Pressure Control - Assist Control (PC-AC) affords the patient to determine time and number of mandatory mechanical breaths.
AutoFlow to adapt automatically the necessary pressure to guarantee the set tidal volume and to improve synchrony between patient and ventilator.
Integrated CO2 monitoring to support the analysis of effectiveness of ventilation and of the gas exchange of the patient.
Smart Pulmonary View to perform real time visualisation and turn data into information for a potentially quicker analysis of lung dynamic parameters.
