The GALILEO is HAMILTON MEDICAL’s full-featured intensive care ventilator for infant, pediatric and adult patients.

The GALILEO ventilator family offers a full spectrum of capabilities, including invasive to noninvasive and advanced ventilation modes, plus tube resistance compensation.

The GALILEO is the only ventilator in its class to feature the Intelligent Ventilation mode ASV. ASV is a unique closed-loop control mode developed by HAMILTON MEDICAL that

• Ventilates virtually all intubated patients - whether active or passive and regardless of their lung disease – based on a ventilation strategy tailored to their individual condition (Arnal JM et al. Int Care Med 2004;30:84)

• Is more responsive than conventional modes in adapting to the patient's breathing activity (Petter AH et al. Anesth Analg 2003;97:1743-50)

• Requires fewer user interactions and gives fewer alarms (Petter AH et al. Anesth Analg 2003;97:1743-50)

• Facilitates shorter ventilation times (Sulzer CF et al. Anesthesiology 2001;95:1339-45, Cassina T et al. J Cartiothorac Vasc Anesth 2003;17:571-75)

• Provides ventilation at least as safely and effectively as international ventilation experts using conventional modes (Iotti GA et al. Int Care Med 2005;31:192)
