Ventilation therapy

Ventilated patients are among the most vulnerable patients in the hospital: An increased risk for infections, ventilator-induced injuries and higher mortality rates after failed extubation.

Committed to reducing hospital ventilation time
At Dräger we consider the entire ventilation process and how it can be improved – for you and your patients. This focus guides our efforts to help address your challenges:

• Avoid intubation when possible
• Easily tailor treatment
• Encourage spontaneous breathing
• Practical and sophisticated transport systems
• Wean efficiently and reduce reintubations
• Avoid complications and support recovery

To optimise therapy for patients of any age and any acuity level, Dräger provides ventilators designed to support your efforts to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications. That is why you will find several common capabilities and characteristics across our entire ventilation product line:

Complete Solutions including disposable supplies and accessories enable Ventilation without Sterilisation™ to support reduced risk of infection
