(Metric Version) The AutoMedx SAVe II+ ventilator is a small, extremely durable, portable mechanical ventilator designed to provide lifesaving mechanical ventilation in prehospital, aeromedical, field hospital and hospital settings. The SAVe II+ is not a full featured ICU ventilator, however, it can play a significant role in extending a hospital’s surge capabilities during a pandemic or mass casualty situation or adult patients weighing at least 45kg. The easy-to-use, portability and long battery life, make the SAVe II+ well suited to provide lifesaving mechanical ventilation to the developing world, field hospitals, or other environments where there is a lack of equipment. And the design of the SAVe II+ maximizes safe and effective use for those with minimal training.
An electrically-powered device designed to provide automated, alveolar ventilatory support for patients during interhospital or intrahospital transport, and in emergency situations. It is typically a compact, lightweight, rugged device with internal batteries to power it during patient transport. It typically provides mandatory breaths at pre-set intervals (control mode), not allowing the patient to breathe spontaneously; operation in assist/control and/or synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) modes is available in some types. It usually includes an airway pressure monitor and low and high pressure alarms; it may be used in ambulances, and in field hospitals.
