Q: How does Breas vivo 1 Work?

A: The Breas Vivo 1 is a medical ventilator designed to support individuals with respiratory insufficiency or failure. It delivers mechanical ventilation, which assists the patient in breathing and maintaining appropriate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

The ventilator is connected to an air supply source, either an oxygen concentrator or a compressed air source. This provides the ventilator with the necessary gasses for ventilation. The air flows through a system of tubing and circuitry that connects the ventilator to the patient. This tubing and circuitry deliver the air to the patient and allow for the exhalation of air as well. The Breas Vivo 1 has a user-friendly interface that allows the healthcare provider or the patient to set the ventilator parameters. These parameters include the respiratory rate, tidal volume (the amount of air delivered with each breath), inspiratory and expiratory times, and other settings based on the patient’s needs and condition. The ventilator can work in various modes, such as assist/control ventilation or pressure support. In assist/control mode, the ventilator provides full support, initiating a breath when the patient’s breathing effort is detected. In pressure support mode, the ventilator supports the patient’s spontaneous breaths by delivering a preset level of positive pressure. The ventilator includes safety features to protect the patient, such as pressure relief valves to prevent excessive pressure and audible and visual alarms to signal issues or alarms.
