Classification
Types of Ventilators
Ventilation can be delivered via:
- Hand-controlled ventilation such as:
- Bag valve mask
- Continuous-flow or Anaesthesia (or T-piece) bag
- A mechanical ventilator. Types of mechanical ventilators include:
- Transport ventilators. These ventilators are small, more rugged, and can be powered pneumatically or via AC or DC power sources.
- ICU ventilators: These ventilators are larger and usually run on AC power (though virtually all contain a battery to facilitate intrafacility transport and as a back-up in the event of a power failure). This style of ventilator often provides greater control of a wide variety of ventilation parameters (such as inspiratory rise time). Many ICU ventilators also incorporate graphics to provide visual feedback of each breath.
- NICU ventilators: Designed with the preterm neonate in mind, these are a specialized subset of ICU ventilators which are designed to deliver the smaller, more precise volumes and pressures required to ventilate these patients.
- PAP ventilators: These ventilators are specifically designed for non-invasive ventilation. this includes ventilators for use at home, in order to treat sleep apnea.
