Portable Medical Ventilator

Transport ventilators, also known as portable ventilators, are mechanical ventilation devices designed specifically for emergency or transport scenarios.A portable ventilator designed to provide mechanical ventilation to who can’t breathe well by themselves. It is a compact and lightweight device.Pneumatically driven electrically controlled ventilator, can be used for emergency clinical resuscitation and respiratory therapy.Portable/transport ventilators are compact, light- weight devices used to provide breathing support in a variety of applications like respiratory therapy.
A ventilator is a machine that breathes for you or helps you breathe. It is also called a breathing machine or respirator. The ventilator: Is attached to a computer with knobs and buttons that are controlled by a respiratory therapist, nurse, or health care provider.
You may be put on a mechanical ventilator, also known as a breathing machine, if a condition makes it very difficult for you to breathe or get enough oxygen into your blood. This condition is called respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilators are machines that act as bellows to move air in and out of your lungs.
The ventilator pushes a mixture of air and oxygen into the patient’s lungs to get oxygen into the body. The ventilator can also hold a constant amount of low pressure, called positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), in order to keep the air sacs in the lung from collapsing.
Three different portable ventilators were designed for mild, moderate, or severe levels of lung injury.
The function of a ventilator in an ICU:  The principal function of a ventilator is to pump or blow oxygen-rich air into the lungs; this is referred to as “oxygenation”. Ventilators also assist in the removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs, and this is referred to as “ventilation”. One basic type of ventilator is the Bag Valve Mask (BVM).
Early ventilators were based on negative pressure, but are currently based on positive pressure. Key ventilator features include protection from interruption of power supply, maximum pressure to patient, active pressure limit, oxygen monitoring, and protection from breathing system leakage.
