Stationary ventilators are high-tech medical devices designed to force a gas mixture into patients’ lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide. They play a key role in intensive care units, resuscitation departments, and operating rooms, where they are used to sustain the vital functions of patients with various breathing disorders.
Stationary ventilators operate on the principle of controlled lung ventilation, delivering a mixture of oxygen and compressed air to the patient’s airways at a set pressure and rate. This maintains the required level of blood oxygenation and removes carbon dioxide from the body.
Stationary ventilators are classified by several parameters, including patient age group (adult, pediatric, and neonatal), drive type (electric, pneumatic), control (manual, mechanical), and functional purpose (general-purpose or specialized).
Modern stationary ventilators offer a wide range of functions, including synchronization with the patient’s breathing, monitoring and control of ventilation parameters, and the ability to adjust various ventilation modes according to patient needs. Stationary ventilators are an essential part of modern medical equipment, ensuring effective treatment and life support for patients with breathing disorders.
