Conditions We Treat

Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation has been proven to reduce mortality rates, increase patient comfort, and avoid many of the harmful side-effects associated with other existing forms of ventilation techniques.

BCV offers complete non-invasive ventilation, high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO), and assisted cough device, ALL-IN-ONE.

BCV Has Been Used On Patients with:

Acute Respiratory Failure
Neuromuscular Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and those who require HFCWO
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
Problems with Weaning from PPV
Asthma
Atelectasis
Restrictive Lung Disease
Pre-lung Transplant
Long Term Covid Respiratory Symptoms

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Head and Spinal Trauma
Ventilation during anesthesia in Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Procedures
Aids Related Lung Disease
Ventilation Post-‐Operation (E.g. post-‐coronary bypass, Fontan, Fallot, post-‐pneumonectomy)
Guillan-Barre Syndrome
Chronic Respiratory Failure
And Many More!

What Problems may respond to BCV?

Need for ongoing recruitment of alveoli and small airways
Conditions requiring non-‐invasive support for relief of increased WOB
Small airways disease
Need to improve oxygenation
Need to decrease RV workload and improve function

CO2 retention
Low or absent drive
Fatigued weak or poorly innervated pulmonary musculature
Anomalous cardiac flow situations
Restrictive processes

Obstructive processes
Mixed obstructive and restrictive
Muco-‐proliferative lungs
Reoccurring atelectasis/pneumonias
Other means of support have not worked or is not desired i.e. BiPAP® or desire to avoid trach and PPV

When Can I Use BCV?

You can use BCV in virtually any circumstance where you would use any other form of non-invasive ventilation such as BiPAP® and even in most cases where you would use invasive ventilation such intubation or tracheostomy.
