Benefits of Hemolung
Compared to invasive mechanical ventilation, the Hemolung is expected to provide the following benefits:
- Elimination of sedation allows the patient to stay alert, eat and communicate.
- Elimination of ventilator associated pneumonia eliminates dangerous complications, and should reduce cost of care and length of stay in the ICU.
- Avoidance of intubation allows the patient to eat, speak and prevents tracheal injury and sinus infection.
- Reduction in weaning failure should reduce length of stay in the ICU and potential mortality.
- Reduction in tracheostomies will reduce an invasive surgical procedure to the larynx.
- Reduced lung injury may reduce the incidence of death.
