1. Functionalities

1. Is RESPIRA an invasive or a non-invasive ventilator?

RESPIRA is an emergency invasive ventilator specially designed to treat COVID-19 patients with severe affections requiring invasive ventilation. It performs the same functionalities as standard invasive ventilators for intensive care units in hospitals.

2. Which types of ventilation does RESPIRperform?

RESPIRA allows different venitlation modes:

 

Control Volume: Ventilation mode with target tidal volume adjusting stroke of linear actuator. Itis a non assisted ventilation mode designed for sedated patient treatment. The physician set up tidal volume, frequency and I:E Ratio. (*) This ventilation mode includes the possibility of autoadjustment of minimum and maximum tidal volume and PIP pressure only for the RESPIRA Advanced model.

(*) Assist Volume: This ventilation mode is usable for weaning ventilation,. The patient trigger the frequency. The physician set up tidal volume, Trigger sensibility and apnea time. This ventilation mode includes the possibility of autoadjustment of minimum and maximum tidal volume and PIP pressure.

(*) Assist-Control Volume: Weaning mode: the patient is the trigger of ventilation between frequencies. This ventilation mode includes the possibility of autoadjustment of minimum and maximum tidal volume and PIP pressure.

(*) Ventilation modes only applicable to the modeRESPIRAdvanced.

6. WhRESPIRA

RESPIRA is an emergency ventilator specially designed to heal COVID-19 patients suffering severe pneumonia. It has been developed together with Hospital Clinic and the academic director of clinical simulation laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine of University of Barcelona, Dr. Josep M. Nicolás Arfelis.

 

The device covers the shortage of ICU ventilators as it can perform the 2 critical phases of pneumonia due to COVID-19. The RESPIRA ventilator performs Control Volume ventilation for patients under clinical sedation, Assist Volume and Assist-Control Volume used to deliver oxygen and support ventilation in patients with hypoxemic, hypercapnic, and mixed respiratory failure. Those ventilation modes are also used to perform a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) to determine if an intubated patient on control mode ventilation is ready for extubation.
