PEGASO V

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The PEGASO V is an assisted/controlled non-invasive ventilation system. PEGASO V works with a Poncho a cuirass or any kind of iron lung.

The negative pressure ventilation is a mechanical kind of ventilation similar to human spontaneous ventilation. Numerous studies have shown the utility of the negative pressure ventilation in certain disease such as post-polio syndrome, muscolar dystrophy, spinal cord injury, COPD and so on.

PEGASO V generates a Negative Inspiratory Pressure I (from –5 to –99 cmH2O) and a Null (atmospheric level), Positive or Negative Expiratory Pressure E (from +99 to –25 cmH2O). Respiratory phases follow the preset frequency F (from 1 to 50 bpm) and the I/E ratio (from 1:99 to 9.9:1).

PEGASO V can install an optional Trigger, sensing the spontaneous demands of the patient and permitting the use in Synchro/Timed, Spontaneous/Timed and Spontaneous with Plateau modes. If the Triggers are installed, the Autoparameters Function is also enabled, permitting the evaluation of the respiratory frequency and I/E ratio of the patient in automatic mode.
