Advancing treatment with new visualisations

—

One of the major challenges of caring for ventilated patients in the intensive care unit is to find the appropriate individual ventilation settings for each patient. With our approach of image-guided lung protection, you can now see the previously unseen – and truly personalise ventilation to ensure lung protective ventilation. This can help void negative effects known as ventilator-associated lung injuries (VALI), which often contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

What does "image-guided lung protection" mean?

—

Image-guided lung protection offers the opportunity for personalised ventilation. The combination of the Evita® Infinity® V500 ventilator with the lung function monitor PulmoVista® 500 allows you to visualise possible adverse effects of mechanical ventilation and to find a compromise between alveolar overdistension and collapse. Take a look at how this works.

The combination of Evita Infinity V500 and PulmoVista 500

—

Watch how the Evita V500 ventilator combined with the lung function monitor PulmoVista 500 enables you to visualise the adverse effects of mechanical ventilation.

PressureLink and QuickSet

These functions of the Evita V500 enable recruitment manoeuvres with a breath-by-breath increase of Pinsp and/or PEEP (QuickSet) PLUS and a simultaneous increase of Pinsp and PEEP (PressureLink).

Diagnostic view

This view of PulmoVista 500 enables you to assess PEEP trials by pressing just one single button directly at the bedside – and you will see the potential overdistension, collapse and cyclic opening and closing.

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.
