Respiratory disease
Pulsatile bilevel ventilation (p-BLVTM) has been in clinical use for more than 10 years now. It provides high-frequency ventilation (50-1500/min) at two different pressure levels and is an established ventilation approach for respiratory disease in neonates, infants and adults in many European hospitals.
Improved gas exchange
p-BLVTM is known to treat respiratory distress syndrome more successfully and more gently than ventilation at conventional breathing frequencies. Its pulsatile flow pattern enhances gas mixing in smaller airways and thus improves gas exchange.
Lower peak pressures
At the same time p-BLVTM generates lower peak pressures compared to conventional ventilation, thereby also reducing the risk of barotrauma and volutrauma.
Clinical advantages:
• Improved oxygenation3,6
• Improved CO2 elimination3,6
• Increased FRC6
• Reduced atelectasis3
• Lower peak pressures1,2
• Reduced risk of barotrauma5
• Reduced risk of volutrauma5
• Haemodynamic stability
• Reinforced secretion clearance
