Sophisticated simplicity

ASV contributes through simple yet intelligent interfaces to short training periods and improved staff utilization. Unlike conventional modes which require you to set many parameters, ASV requires attention to just one: minute
ventilation.

For almost all intubated patients

In a recent study, ASV was reportedly used for 98% of the ventilatory time in a mixed population of critically ill patients (Arnal JM et al. Int Care Med 2004;30:84).

Less user interaction and fewer alarms

Controlled studies show that while less user interaction is required and fewer alarms occur. (Sulzer CF et al. Anesthesiology 2001;95:1339-45, Cassina T et al. J Cartiothorac Vasc Anesth 2003;17:571-75).
