Breathe Easier!
Patients at Newton Medical Center's Respiratory Care Unit who need help with their breathing are in good hands.
|
The hospital's respiratory care workers are using a high-performance pneumatic ventilator that delivers sensitive, precise breath to critically ill patients.
The ventilator helps patients breathe until their respiratory muscles are strong enough to take over.
It features a computer touch screen to enter exact physical profiles of each patient, allowing the hospital to determine both the amount of oxygen and pressure each patient needs. It also allows staff to make adjustments according to changes in a patient's respiratory status.
Another important feature is the ability to create digital graphs showing a patient's breathing pattern.
