The ResMed Astral 100/150 is a versatile ventilator designed to support breathing for patients with respiratory or tracheostomy needs. It is suitable for managing various conditions, including:

1.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps patients with inflamed and narrowed airways that cause breathing difficulties.
2.Neuromuscular Diseases: Assists patients with weakened respiratory muscles.
3.Neurological Disorders: Supports breathing for patients with impaired respiratory control.
4.Post-Surgical Recovery: Provides temporary respiratory support for patients recovering from major surgeries.
Other Conditions: Such as severe pneumonia, heart failure, or pulmonary hemorrhage.

Modes of Operation in Astral 100/150

• CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): Provides continuous positive pressure throughout inhalation and exhalation. Prevents airway collapse, ideal for upper airway issues like snoring or sleep apnea.
• (A)CV (Assist/Control Ventilation):A blend of assisted and controlled breathing. Supports patient-initiated breaths while maintaining a preset rate and volume.

• P(A)CV (Pressure Assist/Control Ventilation): Similar to (A)CV but uses pressure settings instead of volume for control.

• P-SIMV (Pressure-Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation): Delivers a set number of mandatory breaths while allowing spontaneous breathing. Pressure adjusts to the patient's needs during their spontaneous breaths.
  
• V-SIMV (Volume-Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation):Similar to P-SIMV but controls breaths based on volume instead of pressure.

• PS (Pressure Support): Adds pressure during patient-initiated breaths, making breathing easier. Suitable for patients transitioning off ventilator dependence.
