In the field of invasive artificial ventilation, in intensive care units, AIRPAD technology offers a process for automatic adjustment of cycling configuration in VSAI mode – inspiratory assistance.

This technology differs from existing solutions in the finesse of the adjustment obtained, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the asynchronies between the patient and the ventilator.

These asynchronies are harmful for the patient because, by causing diagnostic errors, they potentially prolong the duration of the intubation period.

AIRPAD technology makes it possible to determine, in real time and without human intervention, an optimal cycling value for which the end of the ventilator’s insufflation phase coincides with the end of the patient’s inspiratory effort.

Cycling is calculated using respiratory mechanics and patient effort, for a given level of inspiratory support. The approach used takes into account all parameters having an impact on synchrony, resulting in better adjustment accuracy.

Finally, this technology can be easily adapted to most respirators on the market.

The technology developed is a software solution enabling automatic and optimal adjustment of the cycling configuration of an artificial ventilator for resuscitation incorporating VSAI mode (spontaneous ventilation with inspiratory assistance).

The solution can be embedded on an existing ventilator , via a software upgrade, or integrated into the development of a new device.
