Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator IE Sync™ software

The Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator IE Sync™ software helps to optimize patient-ventilator synchrony.

Description

Liberate your patient from mechanical ventilation sooner.

The ICU can be unsettling for patients who require mechanical ventilation. With limited consciousness and restricted communication, patients have little control over their own comfort.1,2

When conventional ventilation modes can’t match a patient’s breathing pattern, patient-ventilator asynchrony can occur and hinder their recovery. Powering a unique level of patient-ventilator interaction, the IE Sync™ software option for the Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator is designed to put the patient in control of the start and end of every breath. And, it empowers you to help liberate your patient from mechanical ventilation sooner by avoiding the delays that can be the result of late cycling and missed triggering.

Features

Break the cycle of asynchrony and sedation.

Increased sedation to manage asynchrony can lead to complications and longer recoveries:

  • Failure to wean1
  • Prolonged ICU stays1
  • Increased cost of care1

Patient-ventilator asynchrony is the primary reason 71% of ICU patients experience agitation.1

Clinicians may increase sedation in response to asynchrony to improve patient comfort. And while greater sedation may alleviate patient anxiety, it can also lead to delirium, longer ventilator dependency,1 and respiratory muscle atrophy.3–6

Asynchrony and sedation can result in this infinite loop that may lead to complications and impact patient outcomes. But the IE Sync™ software option for the Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator may help avoid this loop. Synchronizing with a patient’s respiratory rhythms, IE Sync™ software offers a way to help stave off asynchrony and prolonged sedation for a more restful and restorative path to recovery.

Avoid triggering and cycling asynchrony during mechanical ventilation.

IE Sync™ software was developed to address this problem. With its fine-tuned approach to triggering and cycling, the IE Sync™ software option for the Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator is designed to make every breath count for your patient.
