mechanical ventilation of an ems patient

MEDUMAT Easy^CPR

Patient resuscitation with a mobile ventilator

Emergency Ventilation Designed for EMS

Airway management and ventilation are some of the most important, yet challenging situations EMS faces in the pre-hospital setting. And ventilation continues to be one of the most difficult aspects of high-performance CPR. With MEDUMAT Easy^CPR, ventilation is consistent and reliable. MEDUMAT Easy^CPR can be used with a basic mask, a supraglottic airway or an endotracheal tube, allowing responders to obtain a more consistent ventilation rate and tidal volume as a result of its controlled automatic ventilation.

Safely Secure an Airway

Our mobile ventilator MEDUMAT Easy^CPR offers support when a patient requires intubation:

Demand Flow Mode: In demand flow mode, a patient with spontaneous breathing receives 100% oxygen through the mask.
Manual Mode: In manual mode, the qualified medical personnel can deliver consistent, safe ventilations at any time using the MEDUtrigger, while still using both hands for mask sealing.
Continuous Mode (IPPV): Upon securing an advanced airway, providers can switch the ventilator to continuous mode (IPPV) with a pressure limit.

Simple and intuitive

MEDUMAT Easy^CPR’s built-in adult and pediatric settings allow you to quickly ventilate at the right rate and volume during critical situations. Qualified medical personnel can use MEDUMAT Easy^CPR to ventilate patients with a variety of conditions. And at less than 1.5 pounds, MEDUMAT Easy^CPR is ideal for the pre-hospital setting.

Designed for Out-Of-Hospital Environments

Thanks to its dimensions, the compact ventilator MEDUMAT Easy^CPR can be transported and stored easily. The devices can be securely mounted on a stretcher with the mounting set (with its retaining plate and fastening strap) or carried in the provided protective transport bag.

Weight: Just 1.5 lbs (700 g)
Tested against shock and vibrations in accordance with EN 1789 and RTCA/DO 160 G

Advantages of Mechanical Ventilation with MEDUMAT Easy^CPR

MEDUMAT Easy^CPR is designed specifically for out-of hospital use in critical situations, including cardiac arrest and post-resuscitation. Mechanical ventilation allows EMS field providers to focus on what matters most: saving lives.

With MEDUMAT Easy^CPR your patients can benefit from the advantages of mechanical ventilation: consistent and reliable ventilation rates and volumes.

Even research shows that, as a result of its controlled automatic ventilation, mechanical ventilators allow responders to obtain a more consistent ventilation rate and tidal volume. [1]

Simple and Intuitive

Consistent Mask Ventilation

Using the integrated MEDUtrigger, a single EMS field provider can maintain a good mask seal with both hands while simultaneously ventilating the patient. Located on the ventilation mask, the MEDUtrigger allows the rescuer to deliver a single mechanical breath at a fixed tidal volume – simply by pressing a button with their thumb. Once a supraglottic airway or endotracheal tube is in place, MEDUMAT Easy^CPR can be used for continuous ventilation with a fixed ventilation rate and volume. This allows the EMS field provider to accomplish other tasks besides ventilation.

Ventilation Modes

Demand Flow Mode

Respiration-controlled Oxygen Inhalation

In demand flow mode, the device provides spontaneously breathing patients 100 % oxygen for inhalation via a ventilation. The ventilation is performed exclusively with the ventilation mask. Due to slight negative pressure on the patient valve an inspiration is triggered, oxygen flows until slight excess pressure interrupts the flow and expiration is via the patient valve.

Manual Mode

Breathing rate adjustable by EMS field provider

With MEDUMAT Easy^CPR, EMS field providers can deliver consistent ventilations during patient resuscitation. In manual mode, a rescuer can trigger the ventilator to administer a breath with the push of a button while maintaining a good mask seal with both hands.

Continuous Mode (IPPV)

Ventilation of patients without spontaneous respiration

The continuous mode is used for mandatory volume controlled ventilation with a fixed minute volume. The minute volume is set via a combined setting of the tidal volume and frequency.
