In several disorders of the respiratory, nervous and musculoskeletal systems and also after serious trauma, it is possible that a patient’s respiratory effort is insufficient to support the respiratory system. Patients with these disorders need external ventilation support that makes up for the deficiency of the respiratory muscles. Through the years, methods and techniques of artificial mechanical ventilation have been developed, ranging from iron lungs to the more modern mechanical positive pressure ventilators.

For years, Direct Medical has been committed to managing the home care of patients receiving Home Ventilation Therapy. For Direct Medical, managing the patient’s symptoms does not only mean providing mechanical ventilation equipment suitable for the patient’s needs, it also means taking on the entirety of the patient’s care.
