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.
Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation: As non-invasive as possible, as invasive as necessary. As Your Specialist in Acute Care, we know that patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), who are dependent on mechanical ventilation, need the best care from admission to discharge – and beyond.
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 the UK and Ireland. 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 optimised ventilation with regional specific, continuous and dynamic information at the bedside.
Wean the patient quickly and safely

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.

Early Mobilisation
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.
