The Hayek ventilators work using a unique Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV) technique. A negative pressure is generated within the chest cuirass, for inspiration or continuous inspiratory assistance, and applies a positive pressure within the cuirass inducing expiration. This positive expiratory pressure means that expiration is an active phase in the respiratory cycle this makes the Hayek RTX particularly efficient at CO2 clearance.
With over 300 publications to date, BCV is a very well proven method of ventilation.
BCV Provides an efficient and effective method of non-invasive external ventilation and is a real alternative to traditional forms of ventilation.
- Mimics the natural physiology of spontaneous ventilation.
- Active expiratory phase.
- Secretion Clearance: HFCWO and Assisted Cough Options
- Full support with no risk with no risk of VAP, barotrauma or infection.
- Eat, drink and talk while fully supported.
- BCV can be used in place of BiPAP, CPAP (where underlying OSA if not a factor), vest and cough assist type devices, and in many cases, invasive positive pressure ventilation.
- Available for use in acute care, hospital and HOME CARE settings.
