What is a transport ventilator?

A transport ventilator is a portable ventilator that is used in emergency and transport scenarios. It provides temporary ventilation support to keep patients stable in prehospital settings and during in-hospital and out-of-hospital transportation.

Transport ventilators are specially designed for mobile use. They are therefore characterized by a compact, robust design and intuitive operation. They also need to function reliably under adverse conditions such as poor lighting or difficult weather conditions.

The function of a transport ventilator 

Transport ventilators are used to guarantee safe ventilation in out-of-hospital environments. They offer both invasive and non-invasive ventilation modes that allow care to be adapted to the patient’s condition. The main functions of a ventilator are:

  • Respiratory support: the aims of ventilation are to ensure pulmonary gas exchange, increase lung volume and reduce the work of breathing for the ventilated person. The aim is to extend survival times, particularly in emergency medicine. 
  • Monitoring: transport ventilators usually have various alarms. They are also equipped with integrated monitoring functions such as CO2 and flow measurement to ensure continuous monitoring of ventilation and allow adjustments to be made if necessary.

An overview of WEINMANN transport ventilators

More than 90,000 WEINMANN ventilators are in use worldwide. The MEDUMAT Standard² and MEDUVENT Standard models are compact, lightweight and intuitive to use thanks to their clearly arranged controls. 

Thanks to the clever emergency mode and quick adjustment according to height, ventilation can be started immediately and in line with the guidelines. You benefit from long battery runtimes for maximum freedom of use and a night mode for optimum conditions around the clock. Because there is no break when it comes to saving lives.

MEDUMAT Standard²

Whether newborns from 3 kg or adults weighing 100 kg – MEDUMAT Standard² is ready for all age groups and application scenarios. With pressure- and volume-controlled modes and the unique CCSV resuscitation mode, the ventilator offers maximum flexibility in any situation. Thanks to Bluetooth® transmission, ventilation data is seamlessly documented for complete patient care. Rely on technology that thinks for you.

MEDUVENT Standard

Thanks to innovative turbine technology, MEDUVENT Standard works completely independently and without any external compressed gas supply. With an impressive operating time of up to 7.5 hours, it is always ready for use, even in challenging environments. Inspiratory oxygen concentrations of up to 100% can be achieved – anywhere and at any time.

Notarzt Johanniter Luftrettung

MEDUVENT Standard gives us a small, turbine-driven device. It helps us ventilate in the best possible way – both in emergency situations and when transporting them. It means we have to hand all the types of ventilation we know from intensive care and emergency medicine.

Transport ventilator applications

WEINMANN transport ventilators are used in various industries and environments, on land, on water and in the air. They are specially designed to meet the demanding conditions of prehospital and hospital emergency care.

  • Prehospital settings: In the emergency medical services, ventilators are used in a wide variety of environments – from ambulances to air rescue services. The devices therefore function reliably even under extreme conditions such as lack of space and comply with relevant industry-specific standards.
  • Hospital settings: In hospitals, transport ventilators are used in the emergency room and for the intra- and interhospital transport of patients. They also support in-hospital emergency teams by ensuring continuous ventilation at all times. 
  • Special applications: Transport ventilators are also used in special scenarios, for example in medical corps, in disaster control and in aid organizations such as volunteer fire departments. Thanks to intuitive handling, WEINMANN devices can be operated quickly and precisely. In hazardous situations where every second counts, they therefore make a significant contribution to the success of treatment.

FAQs

Ventilators can be differentiated according to their area of application. A distinction is made between emergency and transport ventilators, intensive care ventilators and home ventilators.

An automatic transport ventilator enables mechanical ventilation during transport. It can support spontaneous breathing or completely take over ventilation of the patient.

The device can be precisely adapted to the patient’s condition by individually setting parameters. This ensures adequate ventilation even in out-of-hospital contexts. 

Automatic transport ventilators are primarily used by the following professionals:

  • Emergency medical services
  • Hospital staff (in the emergency room, for in-hospital emergencies or for in-hospital transport)
  • Medical corps and disaster control
  • Relief organizations and fire department
