    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Therapy

    Context:

    • In-hospital patient transportation poses risks for critically ill individuals requiring continuous ventilatory support.
    • Managing patients with high oxygen needs during transport presents challenges for healthcare providers.
    • Existing transport ventilators may lack the necessary features for reliable patient care.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate a novel portable, oxygen-powered ventilator for safe and effective in-hospital transport of critically ill patients.
    • To assess the usability and reliability of the new ventilator in a clinical setting.
    • To determine if the ventilator simplifies the process of transporting patients on mechanical ventilation.

    Summary:

    • A new portable ventilator, utilizing oxygen at 3 atm. pressure, was tested on over 300 critically ill patients during in-hospital transport.
    • The ventilator demonstrated simple operation and robustness against rough handling.
    • Reliable ventilation was consistently achieved for all patients during transport.

    Impact:

    • The introduction of this portable ventilator can enhance patient safety during critical care transport.
    • It offers a reliable and user-friendly solution for healthcare teams managing ventilated patients.
    • This technology may reduce the logistical and clinical difficulties associated with patient movement within healthcare facilities.
