Offers oxygenation and ventilation with unsurpassed efficiency and safety. It is the only system on the market to offer pulsatile Bi-Level Ventilation p-BLV™ (See infobox). The p-BLV™ module generates a pulsatile gas column. This facilitates optimal gas exchange, respiratory gas conditioning and transmission of the pressure waveamplitude into the lung. This represents a significant advantage over conventional ventilation systems.

TwinStream™ ICU with provides the best ventilation method for patients with:

• Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS);
• Pneumonia (ALI – VILI);
• Severe chest trauma in the context of polytrauma;

The best strategy for pediatric intensive care medicine.

Ensures efficient ventilation for each thoraco-abdominal system regardless of the maturity of the lung. During recruitment of non-ventilated areas of the lung, negative haemodynamic effects are significantly less than with other ventilation modes.

Advantages

• Recruitment of unventilated alveoli;
• Increase in functional residual capacity (FRC);
• Lower ventilation pressure;
• Decreased transpulmonary pressure;
• More effective gas exchange in comparison to conventional ventilation;
• Avoids all forms of atelectasis and intra-alveolar oedema;
• Improved gas exchange at lower ventilation pressures;
• Stable haemodynamics without affecting fluid management;
• Reduction of shear forces, resulting in reduced development of pulmonary and systemic inflammatory mediators;
• Effective mobilisation of secretions;
• Easy device preparation;
• Easy to use;
