Product Code: HEMA AXD890A ICU Ventilator
Main Unit: Contains the mechanical and electrical components, including a blower or turbine, air and oxygen supplies, and a set of valves and tubes.
Control Unit & User Interface: A computer-controlled system with a screen and controls (knobs, touch screen) that allows healthcare providers to set and adjust parameters like breathing rate, air pressure, and oxygen concentration.
Breathing Circuit: A system of flexible tubing connecting the machine to the patient, with an inspiratory limb (delivers air) and an expiratory limb (removes exhaled air).
Humidification System: Warms and moistens the air delivered to the patient to protect their airways and ensure comfort.
Sensors and Alarms: Built-in sensors continuously monitor patient-related parameters (e.g., pressure, volume, flow, oxygen levels) and ventilator function, triggering audible and visual alarms in case of an abnormal condition (e.g., power failure, disconnection, high pressure).
Airway Interface: The connection point to the patient, which can be a tightly fitted mask for non-invasive ventilation or an endotracheal/tracheostomy tube for invasive ventilation.
The AXD890A Ventilator works by using positive pressure to push air into the lungs. During exhalation, the pressure drops, and the natural elastic recoil of the lungs pushes the air out. The machine can either fully control breathing or provide support for a patient's own breathing efforts, depending on the specific mode and patient needs.
HEMA AXD890A Ventilators are used in the ICU to manage a variety of critical conditions where a patient's spontaneous breathing is inadequate to sustain life. Specific uses include:
Respiratory Failure: The most common indication for ICU admission and ventilation, caused by conditions like severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), heart failure, or severe COVID-19 symptoms.
During Surgery: Patients under general anesthesia often require a ventilator because some anesthesia drugs can impair their ability to breathe properly on their own.
Neurological Conditions: Patients with brain injuries, stroke, or neuromuscular diseases (such as ALS or Guillain-Barré syndrome) may not have the brain activity or muscle control needed to breathe effectively.
Airway Protection: In emergencies where the airway is compromised (e.g., due to trauma or anaphylaxis), a ventilator ensures a continuous supply of oxygen.
Recovery from Injury or Illness: The machine supports the work of breathing, allowing the body to focus its energy on healing and recovery from the underlying condition.
