Due to COVID crisis across the globe, shortage of supplies is becoming paramount. One of the shortages, most countries are witnessing are of an equipment meant to help save COVID patients in critical conditions – ICU Medical Ventilator. All countries are gearing up for keeping a sufficient stock of these ventilators ready to combat difficult times and save life of critical patients.
So why are ventilators so essential to win our fight against this virus?
When a COVID patient progresses from a cough and a fever to a bit of trouble breathing, to needing oxygen – that’s where the need of effective ventilation sets in. Ventilators keep patients breathing and bring about a positive chance of survival for serious patients. Ventilators gently pump air through a breathing tube into the patient’s lungs and allow the patient to exhale. This gives patients oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, which can damage the patient’s organs if not expelled. In some cases, air with higher oxygen content is used.
Where do GAST compressors come into picture?
Ventilators which rely on gas pressure for inspiratory ? flow are highly energy-efficient but require a stable supply of compressed gas, making them ideal for in-hospital applications. They use a compressor to create all the respiratory circuit pressure and there is no wall gas supplied.
Gast, a unit of IDEX Corporation manufactures oil-less rocking-piston compressor. Our compressors are known for its durability and low noise fitting medicinal environment. They carry a longer life span and have very low exhaust temperatures.
