What Points Should Be Paid Attention to When the Breathing Ventilator Machine for COVID-19 is Removed?

Some researchers believe that there are currently six different "types" of COVID-19, which differ in severity and symptoms. However, in the treatment process, most patients need to use a breathing ventilator machine. 1. The Types of COVID-19 As a medical apparatus company, let Pigeon Medical introduce the six types of COVID-19. (1) The first type of new coronary pneumonia, which is "similar to flu without fever," it is usually accompanied by headache, loss of smell, muscle pain, cough, sore throat, and chest pain. The chance that such patients will eventually need a ventilator is 1.5%. (2) The second type is "similar to flu with fever". Symptoms include loss of appetite, headache, loss of smell, cough, sore throat, hoarseness and fever. More than 4% of patients will require respiratory support. (3) The third type is simply called the "gastrointestinal" type. These patients do not cough, but they have headaches, diarrhea, loss of smell, loss

Why Are Ventilators So Important to Severely Ill Patients of COVID-19?

The new coronavirus is highly aggressive to the lungs of infected patients. When the new coronavirus attacks the lungs of patients and causes complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, only medical respiratory devices can ensure the blood oxygen content of patients and avoid respiratory system and important organ failure, so as to buy time for more clinical treatment. However, patients with milder symptoms of dyspnea can be treated noninvasively. Usually, the mask is put on the patient's mouth and nose and filled with compressed air that enters the patient's airway. However, patients of severe dyspnea symptoms may require the device to take over the entire breathing process. A tube is inserted into the patient’s trachea so that air is pumped directly into the lungs and through a series of valves and branch tubes to form a circuit for O2 inhalation as well as exhalation. In most modern ventilators, an embedded computer system can monitor the pati

What Kind of Existance Is the Ventilator -- Crazily Purchased around the World for Saving Life?

The pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus that broke out in early 2020 affects everyone in the world. The treatment of new coronary pneumonia is inseparable from the selfless efforts of medical staff, as well as medical equipment such as ventilators. So, how does the ventilator work? What are the difficulties in its manufacturing? What kind of existence is a ventilator made in China? Today, Pigeon Medical is going to tell you about the ventilator, a kind of professional medical equipment that has rarely been paid attention to before. 1. How Does The Medical Ventilator Save The Lives Of Patients With COVID-19? Before introducing the medical ventilator, let's briefly talk about the new coronavirus. After the new coronavirus infects the human body, it will first "attack" the respiratory tract and lung cells, causing inflammation. Inflammation itself is the performance of our body's immune system against viruses. In the bodies of patients with new coronary

How to Choose a Ventilator in the Fight Against COVID-19?

The COVID-19 has swept the world so far and has had a major impact on our lives. However, as of now, there is no drug specifically targeting the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Therefore, symptomatic support treatment has become a top priority in the whole process of disease treatment. As an important way of ventilator support treatment, mechanical ventilation is widely used in the treatment of severe and critical patients in epidemic situation. Mechanical ventilation can be divided into non-invasive ventilation and invasive ventilation according to whether an artificial airway is established. Both two methods of ventilation are widely used, and each has advantages and disadvantages. 1. The Advantages of Invasive and Non-Invasive Ventilation The advantages of noninvasive ventilation mainly include: it does not need to establish an artificial airway, it can maintain the physiological barrier function, and the incidence of VAP is low, the tolerance is good, and it is easy to wean. The advantages o

Breathing ventilator is the most common word we hear in the news recently. So, how important is the breathing ventilator machine in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, and how is it used for treatment? Today, let's take a brief look at it. For critically ill patients, breathing ventilator machine therapy is an indispensable option. 1. What is a Breathing Ventilator Machine? The breathing ventilator machine is an effective method that can artificially replace autonomous ventilation. It has been widely used in respiratory failure, respiratory support treatment and emergency resuscitation caused by various reasons. It occupies a very important position in the field of modern medicine. The breathing ventilator machine is divided into invasive and non-invasive breathing ventilator machine. Invasive breathing ventilator machine is what we call tracheal intubation. The invasive breathing ventilator machine is generally used for the patient who has been unable to maintain respirat

Application of Ventilator in the Treatment of COVID-19

Since the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia at the end of 2019, the changes in the epidemic have been affecting everyone's heart. Current epidemiological investigations show that the incubation period of new coronavirus pneumonia can be 1 to 14 days or even longer, mostly 3 to 7 days. The main clinical manifestations are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. A small number of patients may have symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, sore throat and diarrhea. 1. The Classification of New Coronary Pneumonia (1) Mild type: the main clinical symptoms are mild. It only manifests as low heat, slight fatigue and so on. There is no pneumonia. (2) Common type: it has symptoms such as fever and respiratory tract, and pneumonia can be seen on imaging. (3) Severe type: patients may have symptoms of dyspnea and respiratory distress, and oxygen saturation decreasing at resting state with the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (pa2) / oxygen uptake concentration (fi02) < 300mnhg. (4)
