NIV( Non Invasive Ventilators ) FAQs
NIV with ST Mode
Bilevel ST includes the timed delivery of a breath if breathing pauses occur. These pauses are often present in central sleep apnea. In addition, auto or adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) includes more sophisticated settings that vary the timing, length, and volume of the breaths that are delivered.
If you have trouble breathing, a BiPap machine can help push air into your lungs. You wear a mask or nasal plugs that are connected to the ventilator. The machine supplies pressurized air into your airways. It is called “positive pressure ventilation” because the device helps open your lungs with this air pressure.

Ventilators
The Trilogy ventilator device is used to help breathe when it becomes difficult to breathe at any time of the day, not just while resting or sleeping. When breathing becomes difficult on your own due to a medical disorder such as Pneumonia, COPD, Emphysema or other lung diseases a ventilator device could be prescribed.
The Philips Respironics Trilogy Evo OBM is a Ventilator that offers both invasive and non-invasive ventilation. The Trilogy ventilator ventilator can control volume and pressure in the ventilation, making it easier for the patient to breath.
(Positive End Expiratory Pressure) PEEP Pressure remaining in lungs at the end of exhalation.
Percentage of oxygen in the air mixture that is delivered to the patient. Flow: Speed in liters per minute at which the ventilator delivers breaths. Compliance: Change in volume divided by change in pressure.
Yes it support both mask and tracheostomy.
Yes data capable machine through sd card.
Filter is to be cleaned and changed in 3-6 months.
Foam and optional ultra-fine
This is an automatic machine.
Yes it comes with battery backup of upto 6-8 hours
Modes IMV, SIMV, PC, VC, S/T etc.
Make sure the passive exhalation port is not blocked or missing.
The Inspiratory Time setting may be too long or too short.
You will get a Low Inspiratory Pressure alarm when there is a large leak in the circuit.
You will get a Check Circuit alarm when the breathing circuit is detached from the side of the ventilator
Humidifier is optional depend on patient to patient requirement
Trilogy 100 provides both volume and pressure ventilation and delivers the therapy either invasivly or non invasivly.
Tell the patient to stop using the device and contact their health care professional.
