Hospitals are often hectic environments with many interconnected processes. One of the most critical is the transport of patients between floors and departments. It is estimated that larger hospitals manage an average of 250-300 patient transports per day.¹ While patient stability is typically maintained through bedside monitoring, that stability can be jeopardized during in-hospital transitions. This is especially true if the patient requires respiratory support, as moving them introduces challenges that can disrupt or compromise the delivery of that vital care.
Standard ventilators are not made for mobility, and most are not compatible with MRI environments. Using a dedicated transport ventilator helps ensure optimal breathing support and makes moving patients significantly easier.
The Ventway Sparrow MRI Ventilator is specifically designed to ensure smooth and reliable ventilation during patient transport anywhere within the hospital.
Setting A New Standard for Transport Ventilation
Patient transport requires equipment that is reliable, easily portable, and easy to deploy. The Ventway Sparrow MRI delivers on all fronts. Weighing just 1.3kg, it is ultra-portable and compact, yet powerful enough to ventilate a wide range of patients. The Sparrow’s impact-resistant design addresses the physical demands of rapid hospital transfers. With its intuitive interface, clinicians can make adjustments quickly and confidently.
Sparrow MRI Advantages:
- Fully MRI-compatible up to 3 Tesla, allowing continuous ventilation during scans
- Lightweight (1.3 kg) and impact-resistant—perfect for fast-paced, in-hospital transfers
- User-friendly interface for quick adjustments on the go
- Advanced ventilation modes including SIMV-VC-PS, SIMV-PC, CPAP, AC, and BiLevel
- Supports patients >5 kg, with tidal volumes from 50–2000 mL
The Ventway Sparrow MRI Ventilator allows clinicians to maintain safe, effective ventilation from unit to unit, even through MRI scans without compromise.
