Sub-Acute
Carina VT is proud to supply some of the most technologically advanced portable ventilators in the world for the acute management and transfer of critically ill patients with respiratory failure.
For those patients requiring weaning from invasive ventilation, advances in non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) have undoubtedly increased survival, requiring short or long term ventilation as a means of life support. Mechanical ventilators supplied by Carina VT are capable of NPPV delivery or use in weaning programmes.
Weaning
Versatile mechanical ventilation will assist the clinical team to manage the ventilator dependent individual. However, there is often a need to positively plan for the discontinuation of ventilator support at the critical time when patients can support their own respiratory function. This can often be a complex process, carefully adjusted to each individual's needs and a wide range of outcomes may need to be assessed before successfully removing the ventilator.
Home Care
Increasing numbers of children and adults with long-term breathing difficulty are able to leave hospital and regain a high level of independence at home, thanks to technological advances in lightweight, portable and versatile mechanical ventilators. Carina VT provides specialised ventilators for home care use, as well as follow on support as part of the overall care package that enables ventilator dependent individuals to enjoy living in the community again.
