As Your Specialist in Acute Care, our goal is to help you improve outcomes during the newborn’s golden hour, transport path and NICU stay. We aim to help you reduce the number of respiratory complications and preventable deaths by supporting hospitals to provide protective care and an environment that fits to the baby’s needs. Learn more about our newest innovation to support lung and brain protective care for newborns.
Challenges
—
Respiratory failure
due to lung immaturity is a major cause of mortality in preterm infants¹.
More than 60%
of Extreme Low Birth Weight (ELBW) infants develop Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) with an oxygen dependency at 36 weeks².
14-38%
preventable deaths due to BPD in ELBW infants³.
IRDS
Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome occurs in approximately 7% of all preterm infants⁴.
IVH
In extremely premature infants weighing 500-750g, intraventricular haemorrhage occurs in about 45% of neonates⁵.
This is the new Babylog
—We designed the new Babylog VN800 and VN600 to support you with your daily clinical tasks in the NICU. Click on the topics below and learn how. For further information, download our product brochure here.
Our set of treatment tools support you in applying the right protective lung and brain ventilation strategy in order to prevent lung injury, haemodynamic and neurological impairment.
Our portfolio includes:
- Dedicated invasive and non-invasive ventilation capabilities with high-flow oxygen therapy.
- Lung and brain protective ventilation due to automated pressure regulation with the original Dräger Volume Guarantee.
- Lung and brain protective ventilation due to High Frequency Ventilation with Volume Guarantee (HFO-VG).
- Stable minute ventilation and protective weaning with Mandatory Minute Ventilation (PC-MMV/VG+PS).
- Maintaining reliable and sensitive triggering and stable lung tidal volumes with original Dräger leak adaptation and leak compensation technology.
- Proportional support for compensation of ETT resistances.
This is how we make a difference
—Our devices combine high performance ventilation with an aesthetic design and state-of-the art operating technology. Watch our video below and discover the new simple way of how you can guide your ventilation strategy.
This is the new user experience in mechanical ventilation.

This is more than a layout. It's a new user experience
We asked our User-Interface Designer Sebastian Fischer three questions about how the design process of a new user interface starts. What do you need to consider and what are the improvements in daily use?
This is what your colleagues think about it
You never get a second chance for a first impression. That’s why we asked Dr. Anja Stein three quick questions to get her impressions after having used the new Babylog for the first time.
This is functionality
—To prevent pulmonary injury, immature lungs and underdeveloped breathing require extremely gentle ventilation and advanced technology. Discover the latest findings on protective ventilation and see how our ventilation functionalities support you in using individual protective strategies.
Proven Facts
—Volume Guarantee
Volume targeted ventilation leads to a reduction of mechanical ventilation time compared to pressure limited ventilation by up to 2.36 days².
11% decrease in death or BPD
Volume targeted ventilation (Volume Guarantee) leads to a decrease in death or BPD by 11%².
HFOV with Volume Guarantee
provides better control of ventilation and the risk of severe brain injury […] could be in someway reduced⁶.
Shorter stay in ICU
The guarantee of minimum minute ventilation is advantageous as it avoids the fluctuations in carbon dioxide removal and oxygenation associated with hypoventilation that may occur as respiratory rate is decreased when using PC-SIMV/VG +/- PS⁷.
This is a developmental care-friendly environment
—From delivery to discharge – Our range of products for the L&D, transporation and the NICU support a patient-friendly pathway and enable a developmental care-friendly environment to support all the complex needs of the developing lung, brain and other organs.

This is improving outcomes
—Ventilated patients are among the most vulnerable in the hospital. We support ventilation strategies that help avoid lung injury while maximising gas exchange. Learn more about our solutions below:
