Breathing is the set of processes that allow air to enter and exit our lungs, leading to the assimilation of oxygen from the atmosphere and removing carbon dioxide produced by cellular metabolism.
For this gas exchange to take place, it is important that sufficient air reaches the alveoli of the lungs, and the respiratory system and respiratory muscles must work properly.
In many diseases of the respiratory, nervous and musculoskeletal system, as well as as as a result of serious trauma, the ventilator pump may be inadequate to support the respiratory system and create a condition of respiratory failure.
Mechanical ventilation, or ventilotherapy, is a breathing support made by means of a device that assists breathing for those who are not able to perform this function spontaneously and effectively.
It is a valuable, sometimes vital, supportive treatment that can be provided both during a hospital stay and prescribed at home, in cases where the condition of respiratory failure is chronic.
Over the years we have gradually developed methods and techniques of artificial mechanical ventilation that have led us from the now historical lungs of steel to modern positive pressure mechanical fans.
Depending on the specific condition of the patient you can opt for different ventilation modes:
For years we have been engaged in the home management of chronic patient in mechanical ventilation. For us, managing the patient’s chronic condition means not only providing a device for mechanical ventilation adapted to the needs of the patient, but also taking care of it globally. We combine the best technologies with the expertise and warmth of our highly specialized technical and health personnel, that trains and accompanies caregivers in the difficult task of managing diseases at home that until not many years ago could only be addressed in adequate hospital facilities.
In our mission, however, there is not only the treatment of pathology. Through constant monitoring and follow-up of patients, we verify the adherence of our patients to the treatment plan to ensure the appropriateness of the expenditure incurred by the national health system and an efficient and sustainable service.
