Ventilators

Mechanical ventilation may be defined as a life support system designed to replace or support normal ventilatory lung function. A ventilator-assisted individual may require mechanical aid for breathing to augment or replace spontaneous ventilatory efforts to achieve medical stability or to maintain life. The patient eligible for invasive long term mechanical ventilation in the home requires a tracheostomy tube for ventilatory support.

Our adult and pediatric ventilator programs provide extensive training by our clinicians to ensure the patient’s safe transition from the hospital setting to the home setting.
