Advanced Non-Invasive (BiPAP/CPAP) & Mechanical Ventilatory Support Unit
High-precision invasive and non-invasive respiratory support for acute and chronic respiratory failure.
Advanced tertiary respiratory support wing equipped with modern intensive care ventilators and high-performance BiPAP units. Backed by Dr. Manoj S. Maske's specialized critical care fellowship training and our on-site 24x7 ICCU team.
When Is This Care Recommended?
Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure (Type 2)
Severe carbon dioxide retention with acidosis in acute COPD, bronchiectasis, or kyphoscoliosis.
Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Fluid overload in the lung alveoli secondary to left ventricular heart failure, dramatically relieved by CPAP/BiPAP.
Acute Hypoxemic Failure & Severe ARDS
Refractory low blood oxygen requiring invasive mechanical ventilation with lung-protective low-tidal volume strategies.
Neuromuscular Respiratory Weakness
Respiratory muscle exhaustion in conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis, or ALS.
Post-Extubation & Post-Operative Support
Preventing respiratory muscle re-fatigue and atelectasis following major cardiothoracic or abdominal surgeries.
Long-Term Domiciliary NIV Initiation
In-hospital assessment and pressure calibration for patients requiring nocturnal BiPAP support at home.
Advanced Technology & Clinical Protocols
High-Performance ICU Microprocessor Ventilators
Modern mechanical ventilators with real-time waveform graphics, leak compensation, and auto-adaptive modes.
Dedicated Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) Units
High-flow BiPAP machines capable of rapid IPAP/EPAP pressure transitions with dual-limb and single-limb circuit compatibility.
Advanced Interface & Mask Selection
Full-face, total face, and non-vented gel masks fitted precisely to prevent skin breakdown and air leaks.
Continuous Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring
Arterial lines for real-time blood pressure and blood gas monitoring, central venous access, and cardiac telemetry.
Step-by-Step Clinical Journey
Emergency Respiratory Staging
Immediate arterial blood gas analysis, respiratory rate assessment, and Glasgow Coma Scale evaluation.
NIV Trial or Gentle Intubation
First-line non-invasive BiPAP trial if patient is conscious and cooperative; rapid-sequence intubation if exhausted or unstable.
Lung-Protective Mechanical Ventilation
Careful tidal volume titration (6 mL/kg predicted body weight), PEEP optimization, and treat underlying infection or heart failure.
Structured Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT)
Daily weaning assessments, gradual pressure support reduction, successful extubation, and step-down transition.
