Overall program requirements target reduction of time on mechanical ventilation for qualifying patients* with Puritan BennettTM Ventilator and PAVTM+ Software
25% of all mechanically ventilated patients suffer from significant asynchrony1
Learn MorePatients on mechanical ventilation account for 37% of all ICU costs1
Learn MorePatients with significant asynchrony are ventilated 6-18 days longer3,4.
Learn MoreMedtronic defines a qualifying patient as an adult patient with previously diagnosed COPD who is ventilated more than 72 hours on a Puritan BennettTM Ventilator and PAVTM+ Software
