Ventilation & airway management
Specify for the transport, not the catalog.
Transport ventilation and airway management for prehospital and interfacility care. We help you specify what fits the calls you actually run — not the calls a catalog assumes you run — and we keep the equipment calibrated and documented once it is yours.
What this category covers
Transport ventilation and the airway management equipment that goes with it, for prehospital calls and for interfacility transfers. For a lot of rural and frontier agencies those are two quite different jobs done with the same equipment, and the specification has to survive both.
Long transports are where this category earns its keep, and they leave no margin for a device that has drifted out of tolerance since the last time anyone checked. That is a maintenance question, but it starts as a purchasing question — oxygen consumption over the transport, portability between vehicle and bedside, and what your crews are trained to run.
What we weigh with you
Tell us what you run and how you run it. These are the things we work through before we recommend anything.
- The calls you actually run
- Prehospital, interfacility, or both. The mix determines what has to travel and for how long.
- Oxygen consumption & portability
- A long transport is an oxygen-supply problem before it is anything else, and the unit still has to move with the patient.
- Your protocols and training
- Capability nobody is authorised or trained to use is not capability. It is cost.
- Your vehicles and your budget
- What mounts, what powers it, and what your board will approve.
Calibrated, and recorded rather than assumed.
Through ProTek by LifeMed we verify that a device delivers what it reports, within the manufacturer's stated tolerances, and we record the result rather than just the pass. Preventive maintenance, inspection, and repair run through the same operation — on-site at your station, or at our Loveland bench.
If the nearest biomedical technician has historically been hours away, that is exactly the gap this is built to close. The record stays on file for the life of each unit and is retrievable on request.
Tell us what you're working with. We'll tell you what we'd do.
A serial number, a photo of the unit, or a rough description. You don't need a part number.
Always in service. Always ready.
