An Important Advancement in Holding Chamber for
Mechanical Ventilators.!!!

AeroVent® CHC is a Collapsible holding chamber for ventilator circuits, whereby Doctors can provide aerosolisation from MDI (Metered Dose Inhalers) through the ventilator circuits, and without breaking the circuit. Further, when not in use, the AeroVent CHC can be closed to become partof the  Ventilator circuit, thereby minimizing  the dead space in the patient’s circuit.

It is proved by several clinical trials that use of Holding chambers with an MDI delivers greater percentage of aerosol drugs to targeted sites/lungs.

AeroVent®  CHC is an Effective solution for Aerosol Delivery with an MDI and has applications in:

• The AeroVent® CHC is a proven standard for the delivery of aerosol medications to mechanically ventilated patients without breaking the circuit.
• Marik et al concluded in a study using the AeroVent® CHC and albuterol that 38% of the dose was delivered with AeroVent* CHC vs. 9% with a typical right-angle adapter. They further stated that right-angle adapter ports should not be used to deliver bronchodilators to ventilated patients
• A study conducted by Coleman et al concluded that spacers with MDIs were twice as efficient in delivering the percentage of starting dose than nebulizers. These results have been reproduced in several studies.

• The simplicity of the system results in less time and costs vs. standard nebulizer systems for patients of all ages.

• Easy and quick aerosol drug delivery
• No need to break the ventilator circuit during continuous mechanical ventilation. This is very helpful in the case of patients where the circuit should not be broken in-between medication
• When not in use, the AeroVent® CHC can be closed to become part of the Ventilator circuit, thereby minimizing the dead space in the patient’s circuit

• See through chamber facilitates visualization of the aerosol spray
  and ensure proper usage of medicine.
  
• Connector allows for either temporary insertion between any endotracheal/ tracheostomy tube or into the inspiratory limb of any adult circuit wye
