Trivitron promotes Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in India - a new concept in The US $25 Million Corporate M/s Trivitron brings a new concept in Artificial Respiration to India. Conceptualized & developed by their Principals M/s Hamilton Medical AG, Switzerland this new technique has been successfully launched & accepted worldwide and is being actively promoted by M/s Trivitron in India. The current method of ventilation involves endo-tracheal tube or an invasive conduit. It has been observed that this method though clinically acceptable has a psychological bearing on the patient. At present during ventilation the patient remains intubated during the entire period of his ventilatory support resulting in causing him physical and mental discomfort. Non-Invasive Ventilation utilizes the oronasal mask for rather than an invasive conduit like endo-tracheal tube or tracheotomy tube. This new concept makes the patient feel more comforted during the weaning period. Moreover the intubation period can be planned and reduced considerably by delivering NIV during the final stages of weaning. Mr Ravi Srinivasan, General Manager – Critical Care Division says “Non invasive ventilation is very useful in the sub- acute care unit for an actively breathing pediatric, adult or geriatric patients. This new concept in ventilation is very useful especially to reduce early intubation and to promote early extubation that avoids complicated ventilator settings in conventional invasive ventilation”. NIV is provided through Hamilton's new reusable face mask. The face masks are fully autoclavable, reducing the risk of infection considerably. The face mask comes in 3 different sizes to suit all patient age groups and the composition of the mask avoids any allergies to the patient. Hamilton Medical AG has incorporated this new concept in all its models namely Galileo and Raphael. “Every product or service we introduce is intended to bring the Trivitron Smile to every person associated with us. We are sure this new concept in ventilation will ensure a smile of relief & comfort for the patient” says Mr V. Ravi Shankar, Dy. General Manager - Corporate Communications & Group Marketing. |
