Respiratory therapy

Treatment options for respiratory diseases

The goal of mechanical ventilation is to:

improve the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the patient’s blood and the air in the patient’s lungs.
support the patient’s work of breathing¹ when his/her own physiology fails.

ResMed offers a broad range of mechanical ventilation options for invasive and non-invasive applications to suit different patients and care settings.
