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
- Post-Fontan Physiology
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Head and Spinal Trauma
- Ventilation during Anesthesia in ENT Procedures
- AIDS Related Lung Disease
- Ventilation Post-Operation (post-coronary bypass, Fontan, Fallot, post-pneumonectomy)
- Guillain-Barré 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
You can use BCV in virtually any circumstance where you would use any other form of non-invasive ventilation such as BiLevel and even in more cases where you would use invasive ventilation such as intubation or tracheotomy.
