Volumetric respirator

A volumetric respirator is an artificial lung ventilation (ventilator) device that is used to treat patients who are in critical condition and require artificial breathing support.

The principle of operation of a volumetric respirator is based on a change in the phases of the patient’s breathing after blowing a certain volume of air into the lungs. This allows you to maintain the required level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the patient’s blood and improve his condition.

A volumetric respirator has several advantages over other types of mechanical ventilation, such as constant pressure respirators. Firstly, it is more effective in maintaining the required level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the patient's body. Secondly, it reduces the risk of complications associated with long-term mechanical ventilation.

However, despite all the advantages, a volumetric respirator is a rather complex device that requires professional installation and maintenance. In addition, its use may be associated with certain risks for the patient, such as lung damage or complications.

Thus, the volumetric respirator is an important tool for the treatment of critically ill patients, but its use should be based on a careful analysis of risks and benefits, as well as the professionalism and experience of medical personnel.

A volumetric ventilator respirator is a device for artificial lung ventilation (IVL) that provides a change in breathing phases, which occurs after a certain volume of gas air, a respiratory gas mixture, is blown into the lungs.

Unlike a static type respirator, the phase change does not occur continuously, but after a certain breathing time. The duration of inhalation is determined in advance and depends on the patient’s condition, for example, with early respiratory failure, the duration of inhalation is shorter than with late. To do this, the ventilation effect is delayed, and the patient is allowed to rest, restoring breathing naturally.

The patient's respiratory activity is also affected by the duration of exhalation. In the first minutes it reaches one cycle per minute, then improves to five or six or more. To achieve continuous and calm breathing, the sick patient is switched to positive airway pressure created during the entire exhalation time of the ventilator. This helps remove the lungs from the circulation, thereby eliminating the formation of blood clots.
