The advancements in technology have encouraged manufacturers to develop innovative medical devices including mechanical ventilators. Big brands have sensed a growing need to aid both patients and respiratory therapist breathe freely, especially when administering care say industry experts at Allied Market Research, weighing upon the size and share, growth, demand and opportunities in the mechanical ventilators market. New software and different functionality upgrades are also setting some trends in the industry.
Palmtops to hit the hospitals soon
Few palmtop ventilators that are yet to receive FDA approval would hit hospitals and clinics soon. Some recent innovations in the palmtop ventilators category are PiCOEXPLORER™ Model PAS-110 by Ushio America, Inc. and ReVel Palm Top Ventilator by CareFusion. Both the equipment provides paramount ICU – level care not only in clinics and hospital, but also during the patient transport service.
Most of these portable devices weigh about the same size of positive airway pressure equipment and are the smallest ventilators available in the market. While some palmtops are developed for high – acuity use, other are designed for mid –acuity applications. The high-acuity ventilators come with a touch screen as well as a nebulizer. Moreover, its batteries can be conveniently swapped without interfering with the patient care. On the other hand, the devices used for mid-acuity applications feature LED interface meant to offer patient information as well as external exhalation.
Adoption rate of non-invasive ventilation rises
Invention of non-invasive ventilators can be easily traced to the demand for technological developments in the sub –acute care. In addition, the most recent trends in this segment are influenced by the bi-level therapyUtmost care is taken to make sure the system is easily upgraded. The non –invasive ventilators have emerged as a cost effective option for those patients who need sub –acute therapy and eliminates the demand for intubations in certain patients.
The non –invasive ventilators feature an integrated display screen that applies real – time graphics in formats such as a bar scale to offer improved monitoring for caregivers. This feature makes sure optimal sensitivity is maintained despite the changes in the breathing pattern or in case of leaks. Modes such as S/T and CPAP are available for patients who need pressure support ventilation. Besides this, the timed mode in the ventilator plays a vital role in promoting enhanced patient comfort. Researchers say that assistance of timed mode in improving ventilator synchrony is also important.
There are some non-invasive ventilators that have been designed particularly for clinics and hospitals that provide nursing care lower acuity patient. The medical condition of lower acuity patients is stable, but they often suffer from respiratory failure. Thus, these ventilators promise optimal triggering when there are any changes in the breathing pattern or leaks. Furthermore, these machines help in eliminating the need for constant adjustment, when the caregiver increases the ventilator synchrony. This bi-level machine comes with an integrated battery system to provide backup and maintains the ventilation in event of power interruption. The safety feature of the device facilitates the intra – hospital transportation of patients from one hospital to another with continuous ventilator care.
Advancements in ventilator technology continues
Another recent discovery is the advanced ventilators that function with proportional solenoid valves. The valves demonstrate great capability when it comes to enhancing the synchrony. They do so by controlling exhalations and ensures high precision as well as flexible air supply.

Hospitals demand for online ventilator
Many hospitals feel the need to centralize the information of their patients. Online ventilators have proved their capability, when it comes to centralizing a patient’s medical record. Some of these ventilators available in the market have web server, which can accurately display the machine settings, alarms and others features on a computers network. These ventilators use Windows® software to display the information.
Another ventilator in the online category is the one with integrated speaking mode. This ventilator enables the speech mode without any additional external speaking valve. The evaluation valves are controlled by the ventilators that further force the exhaled gas into the vocal cords and allow speech. Besides this, the machine can quickly respond to the occlusions in order to return to normal settings. Such innovation have opened new avenues for the mechanical ventilators
High frequency position pressure ventilation improves hospital care
By increasing the rate and lowering the inflation time researchers have entrained the respiratory effort that resulted in synchrony. Such synchronization is important for improving blood gases.
